Segmental Structure and Complex Segments

This volume aims at presenting a phonological theory of segmental structure which is capable of providing adequate representations of complex segments, focusing mainly on phonological place and manner. In the first few chapters, a theory of segmental structure is presented which makes it possible to derive a set of complex segments which includes affricates, prenasalised stops, consonants with secondary articulation and short diphthongs. In the final chapters, a thorough investigation is presented of the behaviour of such segments in phonological processes.Weijer, Jeroen Van De is the author of 'Segmental Structure and Complex Segments', published 1996 under ISBN 9783484303508 and ISBN 3484303506.
