Abstract:

This book offers a comprehensive account of the phonological structure
of modern Turkish within the framework of recent linguistic models.
While phenomena at both the segmental and suprasegmental levels are
discussed, the emphasis is on the latter, with analysis of
phonological processes that extend over a number of different domains.
Lower-level prosodic constituents, including syllables, feet, and
prosodic words, are incorporated into a general theory alongside
higher-level constituents - the phonological phrase and the
intonational phrase - on the assumption that phonological structure is
hierarchical in nature and that phonological representations consist
of more than a single linear sequence of segments.
The approach employed here draws on theories of both representation -
Prosodic Phonology and Autosegmental Phonology - and computation, in
the form of Optimality Theory. An overarching theme that emerges in
every chapter is that not only regular but also apparently
“exceptional” phonological forms demonstrate a systematic pattern, and
that both can be captured by the same grammar. The volume provides a
critical synthesis of research in Turkish phonology, as well as
offering new analyses and data from a theoretically-oriented
perspective.
