Generative phonology and phonological identification
Abstract It is shown that generative phonology in its present form cannot predict phonological identifications, thus preventing it from achieving descriptive adequacy, and limiting its usefulness in the study of speech perception. It is concluded that the main assumption of generative phonology—that the unity of the morpheme must be expressed ...
