Central Theoretical Proposals

Here I offer short pieces that summarize the core of my proposals in these five endeavors.

    • Word accent: Primary Accent First Theory
    • Features, segmental structure and syllable structure: Radical CV Phonology
    • Vowel Harmony: Allomorphic alternations require ‘variable’ elements
    • Sign language phonology: The Monosegmental Hypothesis
    • A Phonology for (almost) everything: Formology
    • The place of phonology in the mental grammar
