Abstract:

A new theory of the structure of phonological representations for segments and
syllables

*Proposes a new theory of the structure of phonological representations for
segments and syllables

*Presents detailed analysis of phonological contrast

*Introduces the central role of dependency relations in phonological structure

*Offers comparison to other models including Dependency Phonology and
Government Phonology

Harry van der Hulst’s model of Radical CV Phonology has roots in the framework
of Dependency Phonology, but proposes a rather different ‘geometry’, which
reduces the set of unary elements to just two: |C| and |V|. The model explains
the phonological distinctions that function contrastively in the world’s
languages rather than presenting it as a ‘random’ list.

Van der Hulst shows how this model accounts for a number of central claims
about markedness and minimal specification. He explains how the
representational system accounts for phonological rules and shows how this
theory can be applied to sign language structure. Through comparison to other
models, he also provides insight into current theories of segmental structure,
commonly used feature systems, as well as recurrent controversies.
