Description - The Phonology of Coronals by Tracy Alan Hall
This study investigates the phonological behaviour of coronal consonants. The analysis draws on data from over 120 languages and dialects. A definition of coronality is proposed that rejects the current view holding that palatals are positively marked for this feature. The book contains an examination of the phonological patterning of segments belonging to each of the six coronal subplaces: interdental, dental, alveolar, retroflex, palatoalveolar and alveolopalatal. A universal set of features is posited that accounts for these facts. Inventories of coronal consonants are treated and certain contrasts are accounted for with several "if-then" statements.
