Part I: Segmental Structure and Representations
Part II: Syllable, Stress and Sign
Together, these two volumes, edited by Jeroen van de Weijer, present the latest on a wide range of phonological topics. Part I includes papers on vowel and consonant representation, with special attention to topics like vowel harmony and other vocalic processes (umlaut, epenthesis, vowel height), consonants (voicing, rule interaction, assimilation) segmental representational theories like Radical CV Phonology (basis and computational status, acquisition, relation between perception and production, recursion). In Part II prosodic topics and sign language take center stage, including syllable (including phonotactics, syllabification, gemination and other rules), tone and stress (including secondary stress, stress clashes, pitch accent and syntax-tone interaction) and sign language (with special attention for the relation between phonetics and phonology).
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.
Part I: Segmental Structure and Representations
Part II: Syllable, Stress and Sign
Part II of Representing Phonological Detail focuses on the latest phonological research on suprasegmental structure and sign language. The first main theme in this volume is syllable structure, touching on phonotactics, syllabification, gemination, syllable weight, diphthongization, and other rules. The other main theme is tone and stress, including issues in data collection, the assignment of primary and secondary stress, resolution of stress clashes, lexical accent, and syntax-tone interaction. The final section is on sign language, with special attention paid to iconicity, phonological processes, and the relation between phonetic and phonological representation.
