Bol Partner This book analyses some differences between English, Scottish and American accents of English, shows how they developed and why they have their current form. Although the revised version of lexical phonology presented here is intended to describe present-day patterns, it shows how historical sound changes gave rise to these patterns. This book has two main goals: the re-establishment of a rule-based phonology as a viable alternative to current non-derivational models and the rehabilitation of historical evidence as a focus of phonological theory. Although Lexical Phonology includes several constraints such as the Derived Environment Condition and Structure Preservation, intended to reduce abstractness, previous versions have not typically exploited these fully. The model of Lexical Phonology presented here imposes the Derived Environment Condition strictly; introduces a new constraint on the shape of underlying representations; excludes underspecification; and suggests an integration of Lexical Phonology with Articulatory Phonology.
