A Formal Theory of Exceptions in Generative Phonology

The phonetics and phonology of Dutch mid vowels before /l/

“…As was noted in Section 1, Dutch monophthongs display a phonetic correlation between tenseness and length, such that non-high tense vowels are long and all lax vowels are short. The traditional position in the generative literature is that the underlying contrast is one of length, which is supported by the observation that tense/ long vowels pattern with diphthongs (e.g., Zonneveld 1978;Booij 1995). Both can occur in stressed word-final open syllables (4a), while lax/short vowels cannot (4b): (4) a. la / la/ 'drawer' b.…”

Allomorphy and the Autonomy of Morphology

“…Rather, we would like to relate such stem allomorphs by means of a redundancy rule. In the case of the stem allomorphy resulting from ^-deletion discussed above, Zonneveld (1978) already proposed to express the relationship between such stem allomorphs in terms of redundancy rules, called 'via-rules' by Vennemann (1972).…”

Vowel/Glide Alternation in a Theory of Constraint Interaction

“…As shown in (27), high vowels are followed by glides, but the low vowel is not (Zonneveld 1978, Booij 1993 preceding vowel. (32c) has the most structure since the onset has its own place and root nodes and in (32b) the onset has only its own root node.…”

“…Zonneveld (1978) Since the three representations in (36) are produced by GEN, these representations are evaluated for constraint satisfaction in every language. *STRUC ensures the simplest structure, (36a), is most harmonic.…”
