There is a growing awareness that a fruitful cooperation between the (diachronic and synchronic) study of language variation and change and work in phonological theory is both possible and desirable. The study of language variation and change would benefit from this kind of cooperation on the conceptual and theoretical levels. Phonological theory may well profit from a greater use of what is commonly called ‘external evidence’. This volume contains contributions by outstanding representatives from the more data-oriented fields and phonological theory.
Accessible, succinct, and includes numerous student-friendly features, this introductory textbook offers an exceptional foundation to the field for those who are coming to it for the first time.
Provides an ideal first course book in phonology,
Developed and tested in the classroom through years of experience and use
Emphasizes analysis of phonological data, placing this in its scientific context, and explains the relevant methodology
Guides students through the larger questions of what phonological patterns reveal about language
Includes numerous course-friendly features, including multi-part exercises and annotated suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter
Sourcebook of Phonological Awareness Activities, Volume 3, Second Edition
SOURCEBOOK OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES, VOLUME 3: CHILDREN'S CLASSIC LITERATURE, GRADES 3 TO 5, 2nd Edition, integrates proven phonological awareness activities with children's classic literature for third through fifth grade children to help effectively treat language difficulties and reading problems.
This book examines some of the ways linguists can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, this book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached.
This book has two main goals: the re-establishment of a rule-based phonology as a viable alternative to current non-derivational models, and the rehabilitation of historical evidence as a focus of phonological theory.
