Distinctiveness, Coercion and Sonority: A Unified Theory of Weight - Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics
Bruce Moren
This book provides a unified theory of moraicity, contending that there are two types of weight labelled coerced and distinctive. Using optimality theory, Moren challenges traditional theories of vowel/consonant dichotomy and inherent moraicity.
