Reseña del editor:

The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.

Reseña del editor:

This collection offers a fairly exhaustive presentation of current day approaches to the phonotactics or syllabic organization of words as well as a rich display of the syllabic organization of some 20 languages. with respect to the views we find adherents of onset-rhyme models, using the approach of government phonology or "X-bar" models, and mora models. All contributors adopt a constraint-based approach, either in the context of models that appeal to language-specific constraints ranking (such as in Optimality Theory) or models that use inviolable constraints, i.e. Firthian-declarative phonology and government-based analyses. Issues of syllabification, language games and phonetic implementation are also addressed. The facts of 20 languages - Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Irish, Gaelic, Vedic, Latin, Romansch, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Finnish, Luganda, Kihehe, Dschang, Koromfe, Hindi, Chinese,Arabic - are accessibly described and analyzed in terms of these approaches.
