This collection of papers focuses on the general theme of
phonological strength, bringing together current work being
undertaken in a variety of leading theoretical frameworks. Its aim
is to show how referring directly to strength relations can
facilitate explanation in different parts of the phonological
grammar. The papers introduce illuminating data from a wide range
of languages including English, Dutch, German, Greek, Japanese,
Bambara, Yuhup, Nivkh, Sesotho and other Bantu systems,
demonstrating how strength differences are central to the analysis
of phonological patterning not only in well-documented cases of
segmental asymmetry but also in other areas of description
including language acquisition, pitch accent patterns and tonal
phenomena. All of the contributors agree on the need for a
phonological (as opposed to a phonetic) approach to the question of
strength differences, and show how a strength-based analysis may
proceed in various theoretical models including Dependency
Phonology, Government Phonology, Strict CV Phonology and Optimality
Theory. Many of the papers develop a structural account of their
data, in which strength relations are understood to reflect
asymmetric licensing relations holding between units in
representations. The volume provides a snapshot of current thinking
on the question of strength in phonology. The range of language
data and theoretical contexts it explores give a clear indication
that phonological strength acts as a common thread to unite a range
of apparently unrelated patterns and processes.
