The Sound Structure of Modern Irish contains a comprehensive
description of the phonology of Irish. Based on the main forms of
the language, it offers an analysis of the segments and the
processes in its sound system. Each section begins with a
description of the area of phonology which is the subject - such as
stress patterns, phonotactics, epenthesis or metathesis - and then
proceeds to consider the special aspects of this subject from a
theoretical and typological perspective. The book pays particular
attention to key processes in the sound system of modern Irish. The
two most important of these are palatalisation and initial
mutation, phenomena which are central to Irish and the analysis of
which has consequences for general phonological theory. The other
main emphasis in the book is on a typological comparison of several
different languages, all of which show palatalisation and/or
initial mutation as part of their systems. The different forms of
Celtic, Slavic languages, Romance dialects and languages along with
languages such as Finnish, Fula, Nivkh and Southern Paiute are
considered to find out how processes which are phonetic in origin
(external sandhi) can become functionalised and integrated into the
morphosyntactic system of a language.
