Synopsis
John Anderson and Colin Ewen, two of the most notable exponents of 'dependency phonology', present in this book a detailed account of this integrated model for the representational of segmental and suprasegmental structure in phonology. Dependency phonology departs from traditional 'linear' models of phonology, and the more recent non-linear models of autosegmental and metrical phonology, in several respects. Unlike in these models, suprasegmental structure is derived directly from the segmental representations, and these representations are based on single-valued features, or components (rather than Chomsky and Halle-type binary features), linked by the dependency relation to form suprasegmental structures, with the exact nature of the dependency relations being directly determined by the properties of the segmental structure. Phonology is currently noteworthy for the diversity of views within the discipline, but no linguist or phonetician with a serious interest in phonology can afford to ignore this book or fail to be interested by it.

Covers are clean and unmarked, small bit of wear at corners and spine tips. Interior first blank has neat owner inscript, otherwise quite nice. ".we have concentrated on the explication of notions which have remained central to the framework of dependency phonology since its inception in the work of Anderson & Jones in the early 1970s, such as the single-valued feature, or component, hypothesis, and of course the relevance of the dependency relations to different domains, both segmental and suprasegmental. .The volume does offer, however, the most fully developed theory of phonological representation based on these central properties, together with a consideration of some consequences for other aspects of phonology."; 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall.
