This book provides the first systematic descriptive analysis of the
phonological system of Romanian, one of the less studied Romance
languages, from the perspective of recent phonological theory. The
author offers an account of some of the major phonological
processes of modern standard Romanian, set in the framework of
Optimality Theory and Correspondence Theory. The book begins with
an overview of Romanian phonology - segment inventory,
phonotactics, inflectional and derivational morphology. The main
part of the study focuses on processes involving vocalic segments:
glide-vowel and diphthong-vowel alternations, vowel harmony,
palatalization. The major issues addressed include feature theory,
syllable structure, metrical structure and stress, the interaction
between phonology and morphology. Acoustic phonetic data is used as
supporting evidence for the phonological patterning of diphthongs
and glide-vowel sequences. Interesting complexities of the system
are pointed out and discussed, as they pose certain challenges to
the theoretical model. The book contains an abundance of
systematically organized data, which makes it a solid reference for
students and scholars of general and Romance phonology, and a
strong basis for further study.
