- Description
- Clear explanations with logical development make SPE theory accessible to students and others from a variety of backgrounds in linguistics and phonology
- Integrates stress and segmental phenomena, and shows their interaction, to provide a more complete overall picture of the phonology of English
- Shows how the ordered rule theory applies to a major portion of the phonological system of a single language, inviting similar efforts in analyzing other languages
This is the first full-scale discussion of English phonology since Chomsky and Halle's seminal The Sound Pattern of English (SPE). The book enphasizes the analysis using ordered rules and builds on SPE by incorporating lexical and metrical and prosodic analysis and the insights afforded by Lexical Phonology. It provides clear explanations and logical development throughout, introducing rules individually and then illustrating their interactions. These features make this influential theory accessible to students from a variety of backgrounds in linguistics and phonology. Rule-ordering diagrams summarize the crucial ordering of approximately 85 rules. Many of the interactions result in phonological opacity, where either the effect of a rule is not evident in the output or its conditions of application are not present in the output, due to the operation of later rules. This demonstrates the superiority of a rule-based account over output oriented approaches such as Optimality Theory or pre-Generative structuralist phonology.
