Phonological Representations: Their Names, Forms and Powers by John Coleman (Eng

Description: Phonological Representations by John Coleman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In this book Dr Coleman reviews current theories of the sound-structure of words and syllables, arguing that contemporary theories are unnecessarily complex. He puts forward the use of Declarative Phonology, a simpler but entirely adequate theory. He illustrates his argument with detailed analyses of English and Japanese words and syllables. Publisher Description Rewriting rules, derivations and underlying representations is an enduring characteristic of generative phonology. In this book, John Coleman argues that this is unnecessary. The expressive resources of context-free Unification grammars are sufficient to characterize phonological structures and alternations. According to this view, all phonological forms and constraints are partial descriptions of surface representations. This framework, now called Declarative Phonology, is based on a detailed examination of the formalisms of feature-theory, syllable theory and the leading varieties of nonlinear phonology. Dr Coleman illustrates this with two extensive analyses of the phonological structure of words in English and Japanese. As Declarative Phonology is surface-based and highly restrictive, it is consistent with cognitive psychology and amenable to straightforward computational implementation.
