Abstract:
This book offers thorough analyses of two typologically different languages,
English and Slovak, from the viewpoint of two different approaches to
language: namely, structuralism, as introduced by Ferdinand de Saussure in the
first half of the 20th century, and generativism, based on the ideas of Noam
Chomsky’s generative grammar presented in the 1960s.
Considering structuralist and generative phonology, the most important unit of
phonological analysis for both is the syllable. Most of the theories within
generative phonology provide a syllable model or rules for syllabification
that are considered language-universal, but syllabification is not exhaustive
since consonants that are part of a word but somehow violate the given
syllable model or rules remain unsyllabified. On the other hand, in
structuralist phonology, syllable theories fulfil the condition of
universality such that all languages have syllables, and their syllabification
is always exhaustive; that is, all segments in a word are syllabified.
In this book, a generative understanding of the syllable is represented by the
CVX syllable theory and the Syllable Structure Algorithm from Lexical
Phonology, and the synthetic phonological theory was chosen to typify
structuralism. As such, the book adds to current research bridging the gap
between generative and structuralist linguistics.
