In Lexical Strata in English, Heinz Giegerich investigates the way
in which alternations in the sound patterns of words interact with
the morphological processes of the language. Drawing examples from
English and German, he uncovers and spells out in detail the
principles of 'lexical morphology and phonology', a theory that has
in recent years become increasingly influential in linguistics.
Giegerich queries many of the assumptions made in that theory,
overturning some and putting others on a principled footing. What
emerges is a formally coherent and highly constrained theory of the
lexicon - the theory of 'base-driven' stratification - which
predicts the number of lexical strata from the number of
base-category distinctions recognized in the morphology of the
language. Finally, he offers accounts of some central phenomena in
the phonology of English (including vowel 'reduction', [r]-sandhi
and syllabification), which both support and are uniquely
facilitated by this new theory.
