Abstract
0. Recent studies of phonological structure can be interpreted as confirming the relevance of the dependency or modifier-head relation to the characterisation of phonological representations. * Thanks to Fran Colman, particularly for the morphology. For her, a long diphthing View all notes This is true not merely of work which explicitly deploys such a notion — as notably does work in dependency phonology — but also of research in any framework — such as that of metrical phonology — wherein nonlinear non-symmetrical relations between basic elements, like weak-strong, are invoked as basic. Dependency phonology provides an explicit characterisation of such relations, both with respect to the representation of suprasegmental structure and with respect to the formulation of relationships within the segment.
