Notes on the Development of Phonological Theory.
Anderson, Stephen R.
Language and Speech, v23 n1 p115-23 Jan-Mar 1980
Notes the parallels between N. Chomsky and M. Halle's "The Sound Pattern of English" and A. N. Whitehead and B. Russell's "Principia Mathematica." Uses these parallels to distinguish "formalist" v "substance-based" generative phonology. Suggests that a modification of the "formalist" program is ultimately more satisfactory than the "substance-based" approach. (RL)
