> Abstract:
>
> This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and theoretically coherent account
> of the phonology of modern Welsh. It begins by describing the history of
> Welsh, its relation to the other Celtic languages and its phonetic inventory.
> Six chapters then explore the structures underlying its sound system. The
> first considers the phonetic background, including segment inventories and the
> characteristics of the main dialects. The second examines phonological
> structures including syllables, feet, phonotactics, and stress. The third and
> fourth analyse phonological alternations in the language, such as vowel
> mutation and assimilation, and foot-based phenomena such as the behaviour of
> /h/ and antepenultimate deletion. The fifth examines the phonological
> representation of initial consonant mutation, one of the best known and least
> understood characteristics of Celtic phonology in which the initial consonant
> of a word undergoes a systematic alternation with a consonant that is
> phonetically different. The concluding chapter summarizes the work's major
> points and arguments and highlights opportunities for research. S. J. Hannahs
> approaches the subject from the perspective of generative phonological theory.
> He couches specific analyses in the constraint-based framework of optimality
> theory but presents data in as theory-neutral a way as possible to ensure its
> accessibility to linguists of all theoretical persuasions.
