The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this
rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the
perspective of individual languages, language families, language
groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a
deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to
little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on
long-standing problems in general linguistics.
This book presents J rgen Rischel's most important work on language
and sound structure. It includes some of the most original and
groundbreaking research of four decades. The chapters focus on
stress, syllabification, accent, and vowel harmony, and their
interactions with other aspects of language. They include exemplary
descriptions of the sound systems of a wide range of languages,
cover both synchronic and diachronic analysis, and reflect the
authors lifelong interest in typology. The book will interest
phonologists, phoneticians, and language typologists throughout the
world.
The book is the most comprehensive account of the phonology of
Danish ever published in any language. It gives a clear analysis of
the sound patterns of modern Danish and examines the relations
between its speech sounds and grammar. The author develops new
models for the analysis of phonology and morphology-phonology
interactions, and shows how these may be applied to Danish and to
other languages. Danish has an unusually rich vowel system and
exhibits radical reduction processes that make it difficult for
foreigners to understand. The sound pattern is equally challenging
for the analyst. Professor Basboll develops a non-circular model
for the sonority syllable and applies it to Danish phonotactics. He
presents a radically new and insightful analysis of stod, a
syllable accent which has a complex grammatical distribution and is
unique among the world-s languages. He also describes syllabic and
word structures, and stress and intonation. The book is fully
referenced and indexed. It will be widely welcomed by phonologists
and scholars of Danish, and is likely to become the standard
account of Danish phonology.
