First published in 1991. In this study, the author investigates the
proper treatment of harmony processes in phonological theory. The
data examined lead to a formulation of morphologically governed
harmony processes which involves multi-planar representations. The
analysis of multi-planar harmony leads into a discussion of Plane
Conflation and Bracket Erasure in Lexical Phonology. This title
will be of great interest to students of linguistics.

This volume is a collection covering the diverse areas of
psycholinguistics, syntax, computational linguistics and phonology.
Abney's paper on Chunks provides an interesting new approach to
phrase structure, motivated by psycholinguist data, something that
is rarely done. Berwick and Fong provide a history of computational
implementations of (Chomskyan) Transformational Grammar. Cole's
phonology paper, arguing from Chamorro and English stress that
cyclicity is not needed in phonology, is also preceded by a
one-and-a-half-page introduction on why this is relevant to
computation. Coleman's contribution summarises work on
computational phonology and describes the York Talk speech
synthesis system. Hirschberg and Sproat's paper describes a system
they have written to assign pitch accent to unrestricted text in an
RT&T text-to-speech system. This is very much applied natural
language processing, but their system represents a more
thorough-going attempt at doing this well than has been previously
attempted, and this appears to be the first write-up of this work.
Johnson and Moss introduce Stratified Feature Grammar, a formal
model of language, inspired by Relational Grammar but formalised by
using and extending tools developed in the unification grammar
community. Finally, Nakazawa extends further Tomita's work so that
computer science LR parsing methods can be applied to natural
language grammars, here feature-based grammars.

The papers in this volume address a range of issues and problems in
current phonological theory, examining many levels of phonological
representation. The papers grew out of a conference held in May,
1991, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in
celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Department of
Linguistics. The goal of the conference was to provide a forum for
the discussion of some of the leading ideas and innovations in
phonology today. Over one hundred researchers and students
participated in presentations and lively debate. The conference
imposed no single theme under which all of the papers were
organised.
