The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
| What is CVCV? | |
| Introduction | |
| Open versus closed syllables in CVCV | |
| A unified theory of vowel - zero alternations | |
| Alternating vowels are present in the lexicon | |
| The beginning of the word : "#" = CV | |
| The coda mirror | |
| Consequences of the coda mirror : no confusion between government and licensing anymore | |
| A syntax of phonology | |
| Lateral relations are head-final : length in phonology | |
| Syllabic and trapped consonants in CVCV | |
| Why CVCV? | |
| Introduction | |
| Principles of argumentation I : disjunctive contexts | |
| Principles of argumentation II : representations and their function | |
| Principles of argumentation III : generality of processes | |
| Principles of argumentation IV : a better solution for extrasyllabicity than extrasyllabicity | |
| Argument one : languages without initial restrictions | |
| Argument two : what you get is NOT what you see : Tina Turner was wrong | |
| Argument three : description vs. explanation of restrictions on word-initial consonant clusters | |
| Argument four : lower : empty nuclei and regressive internuclear relations have been used for over 30 years in the analysis of Slavic vowel-zero alternations | |
| Argument five : the life of "yers" outside of Slavic and in locations where vowels do not alternate with zero | |
| Argument six : unified representations for the syllable and stress | |
| Argument seven : licensing power of final empty nuclei parameterised : paired vs. impaired behaviour of internal and final codas | |
| Argument eight : the coda mirror | |
| Argument nine : news from the yer context : what happens in codas and before an unpronounced alternating vowel | |
| Argument ten : what sonorants do in codas : a unified theory of melodic reaction on positional plight | |
