This book proposes a new way of understanding the behavior of
consonants and vowels in a broad cross-section of the world's
languages. A new model of subsegmental phonology within optimality
theory that differs from standard autosegmental phonology both in
its limited use of representational distinctions and in the form of
the grammar to which the representations submit is introduced. The
research focuses particularly on floating features and ghost
segments, and demonstrates that the current understanding of
segmental representation fails to characterize the full range of
subsegmental phenomena found cross-linguistically. Zoll proposes
instead an analysis in which the grammar derives the variety of
surface phenomena from a single underlying representation. This
work both enlarges the empirical foundation on which an adequate
theory of segment structure must be based, and in developing such
an account sheds new light on classic problems of subsegmental
parsing.
