John Anderson and Colin Ewen, two of the most notable exponents of
'dependency phonology', present in this book a detailed account of
this integrated model for the representational of segmental and
suprasegmental structure in phonology. Dependency phonology departs
from traditional 'linear' models of phonology, and the more recent
non-linear models of autosegmental and metrical phonology, in
several respects. Unlike in these models, suprasegmental structure
is derived directly from the segmental representations, and these
representations are based on single-valued features, or components
(rather than Chomsky and Halle-type binary features), linked by the
dependency relation to form suprasegmental structures, with the
exact nature of the dependency relations being directly determined
by the properties of the segmental structure. Phonology is
currently noteworthy for the diversity of views within the
discipline, but no linguist or phonetician with a serious interest
in phonology can afford to ignore this book or fail to be
interested by it.
