Current Issues in Phonology

from

This advanced course introduces students to a variety of live research issues in phonological theory. I teach this course with my colleagues Heinz Giegerich, Patrick Honeybone, and Michael Ramsammy. In 2014⁄2015, I cover the following topics:

  • Contrast in phonology and underspecification. Modified Contrastive Specification and the use of contrastive hierarchies
  • Feature theory: markedness, feature geometry, contrast. Diagnostics of markedness and their cross-linguistic validity
  • Suprasegmental phonology: moraic theory; morae and sonority; onset moraicity

Materials are available on Learn. There is also a Resource List available.

See LASC10089 on DRPS.
