The problems of theoretical phonology are among the most controversial in linguistics. This monograph is a step towards an adequate logical reconstruction of phonological theories and is mainly concerned with Z. S. Harris' structuralist theory, one of the principal phonological theories of the present day. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered in the work include almost all essential problems of theoretical phonology. The author establishes a set of basic concepts which define almost all other concepts of phonology, and gives an axiomatic characterisation of these concepts. The notion of a unit-length segment is analysed and defined, and a precise formulation of the principles of distribution is given. The author offers a formal analysis of the notion of a phoneme, and finally formulates and discusses fundamental hypotheses of phonology. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240259182743,"sku":"9781138608061","price":3054.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138608061.webp?v=1769225039","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-axiomatic-method-in-phonology-9781138608061","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
