Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

The most comprehensive work on dissimilation (the avoidance or repair of
combinations of similar sounds) to date, this book proposes a novel analysis
that handles dissimilation as the avoidance of surface correspondence
relationships. It draws on recent work in Agreement By Correspondence to show
that dissimilation is a natural outcome predicted by the same theory of
Surface Correspondence. The theory is developed in more detail than ever
before, and its predictions are tested and evaluated through ten in-depth
analyses of diverse languages from Quechua to Kinyarwanda, together with a
typological survey of over 150 dissimilation patterns drawn from over 130
languages, from Acehnese to Zulu. The book redefines the core of Surface
Correspondence theory to a level of formal specificity and theoretical
precision surpassing previous work. The book's findings are made more
accessible by numerous examples featuring data from 47 languages from around
the world.
 



1. Introduction; 2. The surface correspondence theory; 3. Kinyarwanda: the

7. Zulu labial dissimilation: SCTD and the OCP; 8. Segmental blocking effects
in dissimilation; 9. Typological survey of dissimilation; 10. Concluding
remarks.
