Abstract:

This volume is the first to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive history of
phonology from the earliest known examples of phonological thinking, through
the rise of phonology as a field in the twentieth century, and up to the most
recent advances. The volume is divided into five parts. Part I offers an
account of writing systems along with chapters exploring the great ancient and
medieval intellectual traditions of phonological thought that form the
foundation of later thinking and continue to enrich phonological theory.
Chapters in Part II describe the important schools and individuals of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who shaped phonology as an organized
scientific field. Part III examines mid-twentieth century developments in
phonology in the Soviet Union, Northern and Western Europe, and North America;
it continues with precursors to generative grammar, and culminates in a
chapter on Chomsky and Halle's The Sound Pattern of English (SPE). Part IV
then shows how phonological theorists responded to SPE with respect to
derivations, representations, and phonology-morphology interaction. Theories
discussed include Dependency Phonology, Government Phonology,
Constraint-and-Repair theories, and Optimality Theory. The part ends with a
chapter on the study of variation. Finally, chapters in Part V look at new
methods and approaches, covering phonetic explanation, corpora and
phonological analysis, probabilistic phonology, computational modelling,
models of phonological learning, and the evolution of phonology. This in-depth
exploration of the history of phonology provides new perspectives on where
phonology has been and sheds light on where it could go next.
