Abstract:

'Sonic Signatures' is devoted to the representation of sound patterns and
sound structures across a diverse range of typologically distinct languages
with the overall aim of understanding the nature of linguistic data structures
from a principled balance between representational economy and the interfaces
of phonology with other domains, including acoustic and visual. The volume
embraces data spanning from Nivkh vowel harmony to Maxakalí sign language, and
from the representation of consonant clusters in adult Laurentian French and
to those found in child Greek and child Brazilian Portuguese. The volume
strives towards concrete commitments to the theoretical understanding of
empirical territory both familiar but with a novel take (English stress) and
novel but with immediate relevance (Hungarian suffix allomorphy). With authors
contributing from five continents, the book offers a range of perspectives on
the representation of sound patterns, while nonetheless retaining a tight
focus on the core questions of which characteristics and signatures are
specifically encoded for these patterns in the phonological component of the
language faculty.
