Beskrivning
Based on 30 years of research, this book presents a theory about the 'speech sounds' that occur in human spoken and signed languages. Identifying the ultimate elements of which speech sounds consist, Harry van der Hulst proposes a radical theory that recognises only two elements: |C| and |V|. Based on a small set of first principles, the book explains what a possible speech sound is and provides explicit structures for all speech sounds that occur in the world's languages. With numerous examples from hundreds of languages, including Dutch, Czech, Japanese, Kabardian, Hungarian, Korean and Zulu, the book also provides insight into current theories of segmental structure, commonly used feature systems and recurrent controversies.

Principles of Radical cv Phonology is the culmination of many years of work and reflection on the nature of phonological representations. The theory, presented in a clear and thorough manner, builds on and synthesizes ideas from a number of different theoretical and descriptive approaches. Its comprehensive treatment of every major issue relating to the basic units of phonology makes this book a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in the cognitive organization of speech sounds and its relation to phonetics.
