Origins of Sound Change - Approaches to Phonologization (Hardcover)

Explanations for sound change have traditionally focused on
identifying the inception of change, that is, the identification of
perturbations of the speech signal, conditioned by physiological
constraints on articulatory and/or auditory mechanisms, which
affect the way speech sounds are analyzed by the listener. While
this emphasis on identifying the nature of intrinsic variation in
speech has provided important insights into the origins of widely
attested cross-linguistic sound changes, the nature of
phonologization - the transition from intrinsic phonetic variation
to extrinsic phonological encoding - remains largely unexplored.
This volume showcases the current state of the art in
phonologization research, bringing together work by leading
scholars in sound change research from different disciplinary and
scholarly traditions. The authors investigate the progression of
sound change from the perspectives of speech perception, speech
production, phonology, sociolinguistics, language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, computer science, statistics, and social and
cognitive psychology. The book highlights the fruitfulness of
collaborative efforts among phonologists and specialists from
neighbouring disciplines in seeking unified theoretical
explanations for the origins of sound patterns in language, as well
as improved syntheses of synchronic and diachronic phonology.
