Product Description

Review

"Harris′s book is a clear introduction to current phonological views, using material drawn entirely from English, which helps a good deal to make the issues alive for the beginning student. Unlike most current texts, Harris takes the issue of syllable structure very seriously, and integrates the effects of syllable–position early on in his presentation; this is an especially good choice on his part." John Goldsmith, University of Chicago

"John Harris′s English Sound Structure presents novel analyses of familiar processes such as flapping, tapping, and intrusive r within a restricted theory of phonological representation in which the notions of prosodic licensing, government, and segmental complexity bear the major explanatory burden. It is a book that merits serious consideration by all phonologists." Michael Kenstowicz, MIT

"I think this book is an excellent textbook, and since it is entirely based on English, this makes it easily accessible to linguistics students with English as a mother tongue, and to students of English in other parts of the world who are interested in more theoretical aspects of linguistics." Glot International

"This is an excellent book. It is well written and thought–provoking. The end of chapter exercises are challenging, but by no means daunting. Students and linguists who work through the book will gain a real understanding, not only of English phonology but also of important issues in phonological theory." Times Higher Education Supplement



Product Description

This book is as much about phonological theory as about the phonology of English. It is primarily designed as a university–level text for use on intermediate and advanced courses, but it will be of value to anyone interested in recent theoretical developments in the field.
