Introducing Phonology, Paperback / softback Book

Introducing Phonology Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Phonetics and Phonology series

Paperback / softback

Description

First published in 1984. This study is designed as an introductory course in phonology for linguistics students.

Like phonology itself, the book is divided into two main parts, the first dealing with segmental phonology, and the second with suprasegmental aspects, including stress, rhythm and intonation.

Finally, there is a section on applied phonology, including dialects, historical change and language acquisition, all areas which provide the raw material for theoretical phonology.

While the author is sympathetic to orthodox generative phonology, he also offers a critique of it, and argues that theoretical phonology should be concerned with the fundamental phonological processes of language-processes which are found repeatedly in different languages at different periods of time.
