Reviews
... a handy source source of reference for the phonotactics and stress patterns of General American. Journal of Linguistics, Cambridge University Press Volume 36 2000 This book presents a detailed analysis of the syllable structure and stress placement of English words, using Optimality Theory (OT) as the theoretical framework for the analysis. David Detering, Linguistlist Hammond's book is written very clearly ... The book not only presents a comprehensive analysis of these complex isues, but it also provides a welcome overview of OT ... This book is certain to become an important work on English phonology, and I think everyone should read it. David Detering, Linguistlist the impressive clarity with which Hammond has presented the phonology of English words within the OT framework is highly commendable. I highly recommend this book as exceptionally valuable for all students of phonology. David Detering, Linguistlist This book offers a comprehensive account of English phonology based on distributional regularities as opposed to alternations. The book is remarkably systematic and thorough in its presentation of the patterning of the segmental sequences found in English syllables and of the patterns of English word stress. The book also offers interesting and intriguing analyses of these patterns couched within optimality theory, for which the author provides a clear introduction. Stuart Davis, Department of Linguistics, University of Illinois English Phonology: A Prosodic Optimality-Theoretic Approach examines the fascinating topic of distributional patterns in the phonology of English, a language with a well-studied and complex phonology, framed within Optimality Theory. It will find an audience ranging from the student to the active researcher, and will define research directions in theoretical phonology and English phonology for some time to come.
