Rules, Constraints, and Phonological Phenomena
(That pretty much covers it, doesn’t it? Not quite; see the next post.)
OUP has just announced (via LINGUIST List) this book, edited by Bert Vaux and Andrew Nevins. Here’s the TOC:
1. Introduction: The Division of Labor of Rules, Representations, and Constraints in Phonological Theory, Andrew Nevins and Bert Vaux
2. Why the Phonological Component Must be Serial and Rule-Based, Bert Vaux
3. Ordering, David Odden
4. Stress-Epenthesis Interactions, Ellen Broselow
5. Representational Economy, William Idsardi and Eric Raimy
6. Fenno-Swedish Quantity: Contrast in Stratal OT, Paul Kiparsky
7. SPE Extensions: Conditions on Representations and Defect Driven Rules, John Frampton
8. Constraining the Learning Path Without Constraints, or The OCP and NoBanana, Charles Reiss
Some of you may recognize some of these titles dating back to the Phonology 2000 symposium organized by Bert Vaux back in 1999, including Odden’s, which I discussed at length in the early days of this blog here and then here. There’s a version of the paper still sitting on Odden’s website, with all of the flaws that I discussed back then. I look forward to seeing if anything has changed in the published version (though I doubt that anything has).
