“…We shall show here, in the light of what we have said above, why Goldsmith's (1992) reanalysis of Carnochan's analysis of vowel harmony (Carnochan i960) in certain verbal pieces of Igbo is inappropriate, and distorts some of the main points of FPA which are encapsulated in the original analysis. Carnochan (i960: 226) gives the following transcription and formula, glossed as 'he cooked': r .…”

“…In what follows, we shall go on to consider the Firthian Prosodic interpretation of the syntagmatic/paradigmatic relationship, which is commented on by Goldsmith (1992), and then to consider some important aspects of FPA which he does not address. We shall show how paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships are misrepresented and therefore misunderstood when generative terminology is used in their description.…”

“…The FPA term 'system' cannot be incorporated into Autosegmental Phonology as it stands, because, as Goldsmith (1992) points out, 'a tier cannot contain here one feature, and there another, while Firthian prosodies can have just that characteristic' (p. 160). In other words, the statement of a prosodic system such as w/y/h (i.e.…”

“…He argues that researchers should not worry about the consequences of opening 'the formal floodgates as wide as possible', for, in his own words 'as ever, the idle and useless formalisms will eventually drown themselves. That Goldsmith (1992) should discuss FPA at all speaks to the 'good ideas' taking care of themselves. That Goldsmith (1992) should discuss FPA at all speaks to the 'good ideas' taking care of themselves.…”

Until recently such observations have typically been made by commentators rather than by autosegmental practitioners themselves. However, on occasion, the best known of autosegmental practitioners, John Goldsmith, has commented on FPA and its relationship with AP. As might be expected, given the concerns of AP, Goldsmith's comments have been considerably more positive than the views expressed by his fellow generative linguist, Langendoen, in his unsympathetic 1968 monograph on Firth's work. For instance, in Goldsmith (1979) w © find the following approbatory statement: [2] Other instances with similar implications are: 'Firthian analysis addressed a question that is very much with us today' (155); 'L/R (today we would say ±ATR)' (156); 'empty Vslot (as we might put it today)' (157). Goldsmith also contrasts prosodic phonology with 'the more articulated theories of our present decade* (161).
