Modern generative phonology has witnessed an explosion of models in
recent years, in the wake of Chomsky and Halle's monumental 1968
study of The Sound Pattern of English. A variety of competing
frameworks have appeared since then, usually labelled non-linear in
contrast with the model advocated by Chomsky and Halle. The scene
has become so crowded and complex that it is now difficult for
specialists and non-specialists alike to see which of these claims
are compatible, which contradictory, and which mere notational
alternatives. There has been a growing need for a judicious review
of the whole field, which Jacques Durand now meets in this timely
and impressive addition to the Longman Linguistics Library. In it,
the author offers a perceptive discussion of the full range of
concepts and debates in modern generative phonology. Starting from
the basic notions of classical phonemics, he gives an overview of
standard generative phonology, including distinctive feature
theory. Thereafter, separate chapters introduce and evaluate such
developments as Underspecification Theory, Lexical Phonology,
Metrical Phonology, Autodimensional and Multidimensional Phonology,
and Dependency Phonology. The book presupposes only a basic
knowledge of phonetics in the reader. Designed for linguistics,
students of language and linguistics, and information scientists,
it will be widely welcomed for its objectivity and range, and for
the clarity of Jacques Durand's analysis throughout.
