Distinctive Feature Theory by T Alan Hall

This volume consists of nine articles dealing with topics in distinctive feature theory in various typologically diverse languages, including Acehnese, Afrikaans, Basque, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Navajo, Portuguese, Tahltan, Terena, Tswana, Tuvan, and Zoque. The subjects dealt with in the book include feature geometry, underspecification (in rule-based and in Opti-mality Theoretic treatments) and the phonetic implementation of phonological features. Other topics include laryngeal features (e.g. voice], spread glottis], nasal]), and place features for consonants and vowels. The volume will be of interest to all linguists and advanced students of linguistics working on feature theory and/or the phonetics-phonology interface.

Recent publications include: Compounding and Tonal Non-transfer in Bantu Languages (Phonology, 2003) and Stress,
Tone and Focus in Chichewa and Xhosa (Frankfurter Afrikanistische Blü¾†”¼tter 15, 2003). She is also currently working on a book entitled Prosodic Morphology: The Phonology and Morphology of Canonical Forms (Mouton).
