Conferència a càrrec de Paul DE LACY (Rutgers University).
This talk is about the concept of a ‘language’, and how it relates to research in Generative phonology. I will discuss how and whether language descriptions can be adapted for use as evidence for Generative theories, with examples from Maori, American English, Chukchi, and others.
