Abstract:

This book develops an Optimality-theoretic model of the interaction of
phonological tone with segmental sonority, arguing that tone can interact
directly with vowel quality without mediating factors such as syllable
structure or duration. The proposal is tested against rich and complex
patterns of vowel reduction in East Slavic dialects. Though the idea that tone
constitutes a part of the phonological system of some Slavic languages has
been around for decades, the relationship between tone and vowel reduction has
not been systematically explored in previous studies. A tone-based model
developed in this book unifies many apparently disparate phenomena by
proposing a limited set of constraints, whose minimal re-rankings yield the
attested East Slavic vocalic patterns. On the descriptive side, this study
formulates novel generalisations and presents linguistic data not previously
discussed in generative linguistics. This book will be of use to students and
scholars interested in phonology, Slavic languages, and the theory of grammar
in general.
