Abstract:

This is the first full-scale discussion of English phonology since Chomsky and
Halle's seminal The Sound Pattern of English (SPE). The book enphasizes the
analysis using ordered rules and builds on SPE by incorporating lexical and
metrical and prosodic analysis and the insights afforded by Lexical Phonology.
It provides clear explanations and logical development throughout, introducing
rules individually and then illustrating their interactions. These features
make this influential theory accessible to students from a variety of
backgrounds in linguistics and phonology. Rule-ordering diagrams summarize the
crucial ordering of approximately 85 rules. Many of the interactions result in
phonological opacity, where either the effect of a rule is not evident in the
output or its conditions of application are not present in the output, due to
the operation of later rules. This demonstrates the superiority of a
rule-based account over output oriented approaches such as Optimality Theory
or pre-Generative structuralist phonology.
