The Phonological Structure of Words

2000
This book is designed to provide students of phonology with an accessible introduction to the phonological architecture of words. It offers a thorough discussion of the basic building blocks of phonology - in particular features, sounds, syllables and feet - and deals with a range of different theories about these units.

On System-Structure Phonology

Language, 1965
In 1934, when Yuen-Ren Chao discussed the nonuniqueness of phonemic solutions, he demonstrated that different phonological analyses presuppose different underlying concepts. The thirty years since the publication of that paper have not produced any one phonological theory to which even most linguists will subscribe.

From phonological paraphasias to the structure of the phonological output lexicon

Language and Cognitive Processes, 2005
This study examined how phonological information is represented and retrieved, using analysis of naming errors in anomia. We focused on questions that relate to metrical and segmental information, the types of information each of them contains, and whether they are organised in parallel or serially.

Phonemic structures of delayed phonological systems

Journal of Child Language, 1994
ABSTRACTThe phonemic inventories of 30 children (aged 3;4–5;7) with phonological delays were examined in terms of featural distinctions in order to address universal vs. individual accounts of acquisition. Phonetic inventories of these same children were also identified for comparison purposes.

Speech synthesis by phonological structure matching

6th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology, 1999
This paper presents a new technique for speech synthesis by unit selection. The technique works by specifying the synthesis target and the speech database as phonological trees, and using a selection algorithm which finds the largest parts of trees in the database which match parts of the target tree.

Mandarin phonological structure

Journal of Linguistics, 1966
This paper attempts to present the Mandarin phonological system after the generative fashion.1 We find it convenient to treat this part of the grammar in two components: namely, a syllable grammar and morphophonemics. The former attempts to designate the structure of the basic syllables independently of the syntactic component of the grammar.

Phonological structure and ‘expressiveness’

Journal of Linguistics, 1970
Words of certain semantic types which can be subsumed under the label ‘expressive’ (notably onomatopoeias, movement words, and words with pejorative, jocular, or intense connotations) have a tendency in a wide range of languages to be associated with peculiarities of phonological structure – these peculiarities include types of sounds, sound-sequences ...

Simultaneous Structure in Phonology

2014
AbstractThe chapters of this book are free-standing but closely linked pieces on the shortcomings of one-dimensional idealizations of language. Theories of both phonology and syntax rely heavily on the assumption that the objects they are modelling are formally strings of elements. Many well-known linguistic phenomena make problems for this assumption (

Issues in Phonological Structure

1999
This volume contains revised, expanded and updated versions of papers originally presented at the International Workshop on Phonological Structure held at the University of Durham in September 1994. As the title suggests, the contributions focus on aspects of phonological structure, both segment internal and suprasegmental.
