Abstract

As seen in the previous chapters, there are basically three kinds of nonphonological information that phonological rules require. They are:

  1. A.

    information about FEATURES, which includes

    1. (i)

      syntactic features like [noun],

    2. (ii)

      lexical fatures like [Latinate], [+rule X], and,

    3. (iii)

      exception features like [-rule X]

  2. B.

    information about CONCATENATION which includes

    1. (i)

      the EDGE, or beginning and end of a form, and

    2. (ii)

      the JUNCTION between two forms

  3. C.

    information about the module or DOMAIN in which the rule applies.
