Book The Theory of Neutralization and the Archiphoneme in Functional Phonology

Download or read book The Theory of Neutralization and the Archiphoneme in Functional Phonology written by Tsutomu Akamatsu and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1988 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme is well known to have been expounded by the Prague School. It is now being fully accepted and practised by A. Martinet and his associates, to whom Akamatsu refers as the neo-Prague School. The objective is to propose a maximally functionalist theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme by submitting to critical discussion from a functional point of view all the principal notions pertaining to this theory in its traditionally professed form. The author comes up with a theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme which is fundamentally based on but is clearly different from that which is normally associated with the Prague School and the neo-Prague School.

Book Phonology in the Twentieth Century

Download or read book Phonology in the Twentieth Century written by Stephen R. Anderson and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original (1985) edition of this work attempted to cover the main lines of development of phonological theory from the end of the 19th century through the early 1980s. Much work of importance, both theoretical and historiographic, has appeared in subsequent years, and the present edition tries to bring the story up to the end of the 20th century, as the title promised. This has involved an overall editing of the text, in the process correcting some errors of fact and interpretation, as well as the addition of new material and many new references.

Book An Introduction to English Phonology

Download or read book An Introduction to English Phonology written by April McMahon and published by Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces the main units and concepts you require to describe speech sounds accurately. By working through the book and the various exercises included, you will come to understand the need for a dedicated system of description and transcription for speech sounds, and for a degree of phonological abstraction to support our understanding of the behaviour of sounds in particular languages and varieties. You will learn to carry out elementary, broad phonetic transcription, and be able to establish contrastive vowel and consonant systems for your own varieties and to express simple generalisations reflecting the productive and predictable patterns of English sounds. At the end of the book there is a section guiding you through some of the exercises and there is also a detailed glossary which will be useful for assignments or revision during exams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenberg's Language Universals is typical of his typological-theoretical work in its stunning originality.
