Phonology 3301-L1PHL
The course surveys the basic concepts of generative phonology: underlying representations, Surface representations, derivation, phonological rules, rule ordering, distinctive features, rule interaction. Special attention is paid to syllable structure. The review here includes the following subjects: autosegmental phonology, X-skeletal theory, the Syllable Structure Algorithm, basic syllabification patterns, the role of extrasyllabic consonants in triggering phonological processes, and prosodic hierarchy. The illustrative material is drawn primarily from English. The course presents a coherent relatively complete picture of English phonology from the perspective of SPE theory, including selected later developments.
