Auditory Representations in Phonology

The Dispersion Theory of Contrast is applied as a guide to ways of Maximizing Distinctiveness and Minimization of Allomorphy in the context of discrete-vowel replacement.

Consonant cluster phonotactics : a perceptual approach

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2000.

The balance of representation and computation in Interface

The purpose is to call an "interface phenomenon" a phonological phenomenon that has an extraphonological conditioning and to propose a new approach to interface dualism.

An introduction to phonology

This chapter discusses phonology in the wider context with a focus on the role of stress and intonation in the development of language.

Regular Models of Phonological Rule Systems

This paper shows in detail how this framework applies to ordered sets of context-sensitive rewriting rules and also to grammars in Koskenniemi's two-level formalism.

Phonetic representations in a generative grammar

Gradience and categoricality in phonological theory

This chapter discusses the assumptions generative phonology and its direct successors (including Optimality Theory) have made about the role of gradience, and presents data supporting or contradicting these assumptions, and discusses new models accounting for the conflicting data.

AGREEING WITH NOTHING: OPACITY AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE MINIMALIST PROGRAM FOR PHONOLOGY

  • Linguistics
  • 2012
This paper examines the implications of a strong homology between the operations of phonology and syntax, taking as its starting point the Agree operation proposed to hold in phonology by Nevins…

Lexical and postlexical phonology in optimality theory: Evidence from Japanese

It is suggested that, within a given grammar, ranking differences between the lexical and the postlexical systems are tightly restricted, perhaps limited to lexical demotions of contextual markedness and faithfulness.

The syllable is an important phonological unit that must be formally defined within generative phonology. Evidence from Spanish, German, and other languages shows that a syllable boundary is…
