Part 1 examines the lexical representations of natural generative phonology and demonstrates that these matrices represent the phonemes of a language. Part 2 discusses the implication of phonetic variation encountered in fast speech for the choice of lexical representations and for the organization of phonological rules. (Author/RM)

Evidence is presented that the Sentential Subject Constraint presented by Ross in "Constraints on Variables in Syntax" is a global constraint which makes reference to surface structure and to earlier stages of a derivation. (SC)

Points out certain difficulties in recent proposals arguing for archi-phonemes in underlying representations. (Author/RM)

This article hypothesizes that causative constructions among the languages of the world share some fundamental characteristics, even though they have different ordering restrictions and varying degrees of fusion. (Author/NCR)

Presents two analyses of deviant phonological systems. The one based on production evidence alone accounts for (1) differences in surface behavior of a set of phonetic segments with three possible phoneme sources, and (2) obstruent clusters across morpheme boundaries. The "substitution analysis" identifies the child's underlying representations…
