Segmental Structure and Representations - (Phonology and Phonetics [Pp]) by Jeroen Van de Weijer (Paperback)

About the Book This publication Representing Phonological Detail consists of two parts, i.e., Part I on Segmental Structure and Representations (PP Vol. 32) and Part II on Syllable, Stress and Sign (PP Vol. 33). This work covers the whole breadth of phonology, wit Book Synopsis Representing Phonological Detail Part I: Segmental Structure and Representations Part II: Syllable, Stress and Sign Part I of Representing Phonological Detail focuses on the latest phonological research on a range of issues. The first main theme in this volume is vowel representation, with special attention paid to topics such as vowel harmony and other vocalic processes (e.g., historical umlaut, vowel epenthesis, and the representation of vowel quality and height). The second main theme is consonant representation and consonantal processes (including laryngeal phonology and stop insertion). Finally, the acquisition of phonology and the interface between phonology and morphosyntax are examined, attending in particular to boundary symbols, morphological blends, and the status of recursion in phonology and syntax.
