This is the most comprehensive account of Catalan phonology ever
published. Catalan is a Romance language, occupying a position
somewhere between French, Spanish, and Italian. It is the first
language of six and a half million people in the northeastern Spain
and of the peoples of Andorra, French Catalonia, the Balearic
Islands, and a small region of Sardinia. Dr Wheeler describes
Barcelona pronunciation and the major varieties of western
Catalonia, Valencia, and Majorca, and considers social and
stylistic variation.
The author's approach is through a clear, pragmatic version of
orthodox Optimality Theory and is informed by close attention to
articulatory phonetics. He includes a substantial account of
post-lexical (phrasal) phonology and has designed his approach to
be of maximum use to those seeking either to understand the
phonology and morphology of Catalan and its varieties or to set
these within a comparative or typological perspective. After an
introduction to the varieties of Catalan the author devotes
chapters to segment inventories; syllable structure; phrasal
phonology; coda voicing; coda place; cluster reduction; epenthesis;
stress and prosody; word phonology and allomorphy; and the
syllabification of pronominal clitics. The book is fully referenced
and contains a comprehensive bibliography. It is likely to be the
standard account of its subject for many years.
