{"title":"Roger Lass (1984). Phonology : an introduction to basic concepts . (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics) Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Pp. xix + 362.","authors":"Larry M. Hyman","doi":"10.1017/S0952675700000506","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0952675700000506","url":null,"abstract":"' It is probably impossible to write a satisfactory textbook on a contentious and evolving subject like phonology.' So begins the preface of Roger Lass's latest addition to the growing number of introductions to the field of phonology. The reflections and pronouncements included in the preface will certainly meet with disagreement from many phonologists, e.g. his statement that linguistics 'is not a \"science\" in the strict sense... ' or his 'being suspicious of attempts to push any framework as THE theory... ' , etc. His preference for 'theoretical pluralism' and his view of phonology' as a developing, essentially problem-solving discipline, growing through the interaction of complementary approaches with a complex mass of data' account for the content and manner of presentation of the work. This phonology text is thus not intended as an introduction to any particular school of phonology. In fact, generative phonology, though dominant in the field, is played down considerably. Lass follows the preface with a section entitled 'To the student', who 'often find[s] phonology difficult' (p. xvii), and to whom suggestions are offered on how to proceed. From these introductory sections it is clear that Lass favours a 'classical' training in phonology to precede the study of the latest concepts. Coming as it does during a period of major theoretical development, Lass's Phonology will have the students studying from perspectives that will later have be revised considerably. This basic problem faces all teachers of phonology who wish to get their students to do phonology and to think like phonologists as soon as possible. This raises the question of whom this textbook is intended for. Especially at the beginning, Lass wastes no time getting deeply embroiled in difficult concepts, and because of this the book is not likely to be found easy. Lass assumes prior knowledge both of linguistics in general and of phonetics in particular, suggesting that the students using this book may already have advanced standing in the field. Still, there is an enormous amount of material to be mastered and, eclectic as the author is in his tastes, only his opinion guides the student as to any direction that there might be in the field e.g. one does not sense that all of the historical discussion leads to a coherent picture of where phonology is going. If the student acquires this, he will have to","PeriodicalId":413185,"journal":{"name":"Phonology Yearbook","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131760781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kaye, Jean Lowenstamm, Jean-Roger Vergnaud","doi":"10.1017/S0952675700000476","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0952675700000476","url":null,"abstract":"In this article we have two primary objectives: (1) to elaborate in some detail a theory of phonological representations embedded within a parametric framework, and (2) to apply this theory to a particular vowel system which displays some rather interesting properties. This work is a continuation of a collaboration on a programme of research on phonological theory begun in 1982 (cf. Vergnaud 1982; Kaye & Vergnaud 1984; Kaye et al. 1984, 1985, in preparation).This programme incorporates the view that phonology is to be regarded as a system of universal principles defining the class of human phonological systems. These principles underdetermine given phonologies in certain specific areas. A complete phonological system consists, then, of these principles along with sets of parameter values. Taken together, the principles and language-specific parameter settings give a complete characterisation of the phonological system under study. In this model, a phonological system contains no rule component. The observed phonological phenomena result from a combination of the general principles governing phonological representations and structures and the parameter values in operation in the particular language. We view this line of research as a continuation of the development of a theory of markedness (cf. Chomsky & Halle 1968 (SPE); Kean 1975, 1979). At the moment of writing, this view of phonology remains a long-term objective of our research programme. However, an increasing number of phonological processes which were formerly considered to be manifestations of rules are now successfully derivable from the principles of Universal Phonology (UP) (cf. Kaye & Lowenstamm 1984, to appear).","PeriodicalId":413185,"journal":{"name":"Phonology Yearbook","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124924832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The segmental tier itself is organised into subtiers of distinctive features; the internal structure of the syllable tier is subject to considerable debate in the literature. In addition, CV-level units may be linked to melodies on separate autosegmental tiers in the case of suprasegmental phenomena like tone and vowel harmony.","PeriodicalId":413185,"journal":{"name":"Phonology Yearbook","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116574814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I will attempt to show that problems that arose in early autosegmental treatments of certain types of vowel harmony can be elegantly overcome and that autosegmental theory more generally provides an attractive framework for the treatment of vowel systems and vowel harmony. I will discuss three distinct types of systems here: the slightly asymmetrical system of Khalkha Mongolian, the canonical five-vowel system as it can be seen in Bantu (Yaka, in this case), and the well-known Finnish/Hungarian type of system. The kinds of advances made here answer, I believe, the critical comments made in Anderson (1980), in which significant sceptical questions are raised concerning whether the successes of autosegmental accounts of West African systems can be extended to other types of vowel harmony systems.","PeriodicalId":413185,"journal":{"name":"Phonology Yearbook","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134309776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The apparently vast number of speech sounds found in the languages of the world turn out to be surface-level realisations of a limited number of combinations of a very small set of such features – some twenty or so, in current analyses. This conclusion is strongly supported by the similar patterning of speech sounds in language after language, and by many extragrammatical features of language use, such as patterns of acquisition, language disablement and language change.","PeriodicalId":413185,"journal":{"name":"Phonology Yearbook","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131945577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
