Feature Geometry

4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze

An analysis of feature geometry, the non-linear phonological framework in which distinctive features are organized into a hierarchical tree of class nodes rather than an unordered bundle. Covers the historical transition from SPE feature matrices, the architecture of the feature tree developed by Clements and Sagey, the treatment of assimilation as spreading, and cross-linguistic evidence bearing on competing geometries.
