TLDR
This paper proposes to investigate some consequences of this third kind of modularisation of phonological theory, the approach which has come to be known as LEXICAL PHONOLOGY.Abstract:
Phonological theory in recent years can be said to have undergone a ‘modularisation’ in several respects The formal theory is no longer expected to explain everything about phonology by itself: generalisations about phonological change which previously were used to motivate constraints on abstractness or opacity have turned out to make more sense as effects of real-time language acquisition and use Secondly, phonological representations have become multi-tiered arrays, and much that seemed problematic about the application of rules has resolved itself in terms of properties of these arrays Lastly, phonology itself is seen as applying both within the lexicon to the output of each morphological process, and to the output of the syntsactic component The lexicon, moreover, may itself be organised into a hierarchy of levels, each constituting a quasi-autonomous morphological and phonological domain In this paper I propose to investigate some consequences of this third kind of modularisation, the approach which has come to be known as LEXICAL PHONOLOGYread more

Phonology and Syntax: The Relation between Sound and Structure
TL;DR: A fundamentally new approach to the theory of phonology and its relation to syntax is developed in this book, which is the first to address the question of the relation between syntax and phonology in a systematic way.

Language, Usage and Cognition
TL;DR: This article presented a theory of language that addresses the nature of grammar, taking into account its variance and gradience, and seeks explanation in terms of the recurrent processes that operate in language use.

On derived domains in sentence phonology
TL;DR: The authors dealt with two distinct but inextricably connected sets of questions in the area of sentence phonology: the first concerns the organisation of sentence morphology and the nature of the phonological representation(s) of the sentence, and the second the relation between syntactic structure and phonological representations.
Book
Word-formation in English
TL;DR: The second edition of the introduction to the study of word-formation is presented in this paper, which introduces the use of new corpora and data bases, acquaints the reader with state-of-the-art computational algorithms modeling morphology, and brings in current debates and theories.

Word Formation in Generative Grammar
TL;DR: Aronoff as mentioned in this paper integrates an account of morphological structure into a general theory of generative grammar, and integrates morphological structures into a generative model of the grammar itself.
