This is the first full-scale discussion of English phonology since
Chomsky and Halle's seminal The Sound Pattern of English (SPE). The
book enphasizes the analysis using ordered rules and builds on SPE
by incorporating lexical and metrical and prosodic analysis and the
insights afforded by Lexical Phonology. It provides clear
explanations and logical development throughout, introducing rules
individually and then illustrating their interactions. These
features make this influential theory accessible to students from a
variety of backgrounds in linguistics and phonology. Rule-ordering
diagrams summarize the crucial ordering of approximately 85 rules.
Many of the interactions result in phonological opacity, where
either the effect of a rule is not evident in the output or its
conditions of application are not present in the output, due to the
operation of later rules. This demonstrates the superiority of a
rule-based account over output oriented approaches such as
Optimality Theory or pre-Generative structuralist phonology.
