Description

This is the first comprehensive account of the segmental phonology of Hungarian in English.

Part I introduces the general features of the language.

Part II examines its vowel and consonant systems, and its phonotactics (syllable structure constraints, transsyllabic constraints, and morpheme structure constraints).

Part III describes the phonological processes that vowels, consonants, and syllables undergo and/or trigger.

The authors provide a new analysis of vowelharmony as well as discussions of vowel length alternations, palatalization, voice assimilation, and processes targeting nasals and liquids.

The final chapters cover processes conditioned by syllable structure, and briefly describe a selection of surface phenomena. This authoritative account of the sound pattern of this unique language will interest phonologists and advanced students throughout the world.
