The most comprehensive work on dissimilation (the avoidance or
repair of combinations of similar sounds) to date, this book
proposes a novel analysis that handles dissimilation as the
avoidance of surface correspondence relationships. It draws on
recent work in Agreement By Correspondence to show that
dissimilation is a natural outcome predicted by the same theory of
Surface Correspondence. The theory is developed in more detail than
ever before, and its predictions are tested and evaluated through
ten in-depth analyses of diverse languages from Quechua to
Kinyarwanda, together with a typological survey of over 150
dissimilation patterns drawn from over 130 languages, from Acehnese
to Zulu. The book redefines the core of Surface Correspondence
theory to a level of formal specificity and theoretical precision
surpassing previous work. The book's findings are made more
accessible by numerous examples featuring data from 47 languages
from around the world.
