Description

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. Book Description A thorough rule-based exploration of the major phonological phenomena of English, applying lexical, metrical, and prosodic approaches. About the Author John T. Jensen is the author of Morphology: Word Structure in Generative Grammar (1990), English Phonology (1993), and Principles of Generative Phonology: An Introduction (2004). He has published articles in Phonology, Linguistic Inquiry, Language, Linguistic Analysis, Nordic Journal of Linguistics, Papers in Linguistics, and Glossa.
