Description
Psycholinguistics and Phonology examines the often-overlooked relationship between psycholinguistic principles and generative phonology. The authors argue that many contemporary phonological theories have become disconnected from the cognitive and processing realities of how humans produce and perceive speech sounds.
By reconnecting these foundations, the book demonstrates how insights from psycholinguistics can inform and improve phonological modeling. It addresses key questions about phonological representations, rules, and constraints through the lens of human language processing. The work emphasizes that a complete understanding of sound systems requires integrating both formal phonological analysis and empirical evidence from psycholinguistic research.
Part of the Elements in Phonology series, this volume serves as both a critical review of existing approaches and a call for more integrated research methodologies in the field.
