The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the
main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This
branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is
concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of
linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into
the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high
quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues.
The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from
syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to
studies of the lexicon. To discuss your book idea or submit a

This volume contains papers from the 1974, 1975, and 1976 meetings
of the annual conference of the Linguistic Society of the
Netherlands (Algemene Vereniging voor Taalwetenschap), held in
Amsterdam. The aim of the annual meeting is to provide members with
an opportunity to report on their work in progress. The papers in
this volume cover a range of different fields of linguistics,
presenting articles on phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and
semantics.
In many languages, word-formation is restricted by principles of
prosody that organise speech into larger units such as the
syllable. Written by an international team of leading linguists in
the field of prosodic morphology, this book examines a range of key
issues in the interaction of word-formation and prosody. It
provides an explanation for non-concatenative morphology which
occurs in different forms (such as reduplication) in many
languages, by an interaction of independent general principles of
prosodic and morphological well-formedness. Surveying developments
in the field from the 1970s, the book describes the general
transition in linguistic theory from rule-based approaches into
constraint-based ones, and most of the contributions are written
from the perspective of Optimality Theory, a rapidly developing
theory of constraint interaction in generative grammar.
Bringing together well-known researchers, this collection of essays focuses on constraints in phonological acquisition. The first two chapters review the research in its broader context, including an introduction by the editors that provides a concise tutorial on Optimality Theory. The remaining chapters address a number of partially overlapping themes: the study of child production data in terms of constraints; learnability issues; perceptual development and its relation to the development of production; and second language acquisition.
De fonologie beschouwt het als haar taak, de klanksystemen der
verschillende talen alsmede de functies van elk hunner elementen te
bestuderen. En die taak vloeit voort uit het inzicht, dat de
klanken ener taal een geordend systeem vormen, waarin elk hunner
een bepaalde plaats inneemt. (N. van Wijk, Phon%gie een hoofdstuk
uit de structurele taalwetenschap) 1. 1. Het onderwerp van dit boek
De bekende Amerikaanse fonoloog James Harris begint in zijn laatste
boek (Harris 1983) een uiteenzetting over de Spaanse lettergreep
als voIgt: "Consider the word huey 'ox' ." Zo'n mooie openingszin
hebben wij voor dit boek niet kunnen bedenken, maar we zijn het weI
met Harris eens dat een inleiding het gemakkelijkst begonnen kan
worden met een voorbeeld. We beginnen daarom met de volgende zin:
(1) De groep praatte als een stelletje gladiolen over de
dwarsdruknorm. Aan de hand van deze zin kan een grote hoeveelheid
taalkunde worden geillustreerd. Met een deel daarvan benje
ongetwijfeld bekend, met een deel misschien een beetje, en met een
groot deel (kunnen we zonder schroom aannemen) totaal niet. In het
deel waarmee je redelijk goed bekend bent, huist
hoogstwaarschijnlijk bijvoorbeeld de simpele observatie dat het
eerste woord van de zin een zogenaamd lidwoord is; ook dat het
eerste zelfstandig naamwoord van de zin bestaat uit de opeenvolging
van klanken g. r. oe en p; dat het werkwoord be staat uit de
klanken t, p, r, a en de zwakke klinker e, maar dan in een andere
volgorde, enzovoort.

This outstanding 2004 volume presents an overview of linguistic
research into the acquisition of phonology. Bringing together
well-known researchers in the field, it focuses on constraints in
phonological acquisition (as opposed to rules), and offers concrete
examples of the formalization of phonological development in terms
of constraint ranking. The first two chapters situate the research
in its broader context, with an introduction by the editors
providing a brief general tutorial on Optimality Theory. Chapter
two serves to highlight the history of constraints in studies of
phonological development, which predates their current ascent to
prominence in phonological theory. The remaining chapters address a
number of partially overlapping themes: the study of child
production data in terms of constraints, learnability issues,
perceptual development and its relation to the development of
production, and second-language acquisition.
