Abstract:

"The Phonology of Contrast" argues that contrast is one of the central 
organizing principles of the grammar and provides a formal theory of contrast 
couched in the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 
1993/2004). The study of the role of contrast is a growing area of interest in 
linguistics and this monograph contributes to the debate on where contrast fits 
in the grammar. The key finding is that contrast exists as an independent 
principle in the grammar, which in the framework of Optimality Theory can be 
formulated as a family of rankable and violable constraints. A formal proposal of 
contrast is developed called Contrast Preservation Theory. This proposal is 
illustrated and supported with diverse contrast phenomena in the areas of 
phonology and at the phonology-morphology interface. Evidence is drawn from a 
number of languages including Finnish, Arabic, and Polish. Predictions of the 
proposal are discussed and compared with alternatives.
