Lexical Phonology and Sound Change: The Case of the Scottish Vowel Length Rule.

Peer reviewed

McMahon, April M. S. – Journal of Linguistics, 1991

Shows that the Scottish Vowel Length Rule supports Kiparsky's (1988) association of diffusing sound changes with lexical, and neogrammarian changes with postlexical rules, and to some extent, is a clearer illustration of Harris' (1989a: 55) notion of a phonological "life cycle" of changes and rules.

Peer reviewed

Allan, K. – Journal of Linguistics, 1987

Hierarchies have been identified as determinants of constituent order. The set of such hierarchies is reviewed and ranked as determinants of NP sequencing in English. The effect of a hierarchy in other languages is compared to and contrasted with what is found in English. (Author/LMO)
