Abstract:

An in-depth analysis of Breton using a modular framework for phonology

What is the relationship between phonetics and phonology? Are phonological
features innate and universal, and do they have fixed phonetic correlates?
These questions have received renewed prominence in theoretical debates, and
this book explores them from a modular, substance-free perspective. 
This in-depth analysis of Breton serves not only to introduce important data
from this endangered language into the theoretical landscape but also to
demonstrate the viability of a modular phonological framework. The book
introduces a minimalist system of phonological representations built up on a
language-specific basis, and integrates it with a fully-fledged computational
framework, showcasing the numerous empirical and conceptual advantages of a
substance-free view of phonology.

Presenting the first comprehensive analysis of the sound patterns of a Breton
variety treated in a substance-free phonological framework, this book will
enhance the understanding of Celtic phonology and offers a valuable reference
for postgraduate students, academics and researchers working in phonological
theory and Celtic studies.

The print editions of this book is distributed by Oxford University Press in
North America under the Edinburgh University Press imprint and ISBNs.
