{"product_id":"structural-relations-and-government-in-csaba-csides-9783639083385","title":"Structural Relations and Government in Phonology","description":"This book aims to introduce the notion of bidirectional government into phonological theory. The importance of bidirectionality lies in the fact that a number of phonological generalisations so far unrelated become amenable to a single algorithm of governing relations. A parallel is drawn, for example, between vowel reduction, vowel-zero alternation, shortening and lengthening phenomena. Furthermore, new distri-butional criteria for different types of consonant clusters become available as a result of the analysis. The present book was primarily tailored to come to grips with the facts of English. However, with minor modifications it should also be applicable to other languages. This work is a slightly amended version of my PhD dissertation entitled Bi-directional Government in CV-Phonology: Farewell to strict directionality, defended at the Doctoral School in Linguistics, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Csaba Csides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639083385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639083385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Csaba Csides","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440347623679,"sku":"9783639083385","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3068bb3f-84bf-4058-94fc-a8c2e456c53e.jpg?v=1777181845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/structural-relations-and-government-in-csaba-csides-9783639083385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
