On vocalic feature hierarchisation
- In: Language Sciences 25, 111-158.
- The object of this study is to compare two types of phonological representation model. The first is the feature geometrical type, exemplified by stricture-based feature geometry and articulator-based feature geometry, and the second is the component and dependency-based type exemplified by CV phonology and dependency phonology. More particularly, the object of the study is to attempt to establish which of these main types, and further which sub-type within the two main types of representation, is the more adequate. To this end the paper applies the two main types of model to two sets of data. Firstly to a set of material which involves vowel height, secondary articulation and vowel harmony, and secondly to a set of material which comprises dissimilation in English, Turkish vowel harmonisation and consonant constraints in Arabic.
