Abstract:

The papers in this volume focus on notions which are central to the work of
John M. Anderson the founder of Dependency Phonology and to phonological
theory: the idea of structural analogy between phonology and syntax; the
head/dependent relation; the idea that phonological representations are
best conceived of in terms of a set of privative elements (rather than as
binary-valued features); and the related notions of contrastivity and
specification (and non-specification). An important issue dealt with is the
relationship between specification and derivationality, and the question
whether derivations are necessary in phonological theory. Many of the
contributions provide sound empirical support for the appeal to elements
and to headhood at all levels of phonological analysis. The book will be of
interest to anyone interested in current issues in phonological theory.
