More About This Textbook

Overview

Scheer (linguistics, Universite Nice, France) presents a development of Jean Lowenstamm's idea that phonological constituent structure can be reduced to a strict sequence of non-branching Onsets and non-branching Nuclei—an approach which is known as CVCV, and emerged from Government Phonology. The material is presented in two parts: what CVCV is, and why it is worth considering the idea a valuable and viable approach to phonology. While each chapter is thematically organized, the text itself has no linear progression and can best used like a dictionary. The material has been extensively cross-referenced throughout the text, and topics can be looked up in a detailed subject index, a language index, an appendix listing and referencing all parameters that have been discussed, and an appendix offering a short guide to 1990 Government Phonology.
