Ball M.J. Mutation in Welsh. - Routledge, 1992. - 336p.
The Initial Consonant Mutation system of Welsh is unique to
Indo-European languages and has been the subject of much
theoretical research. The multi-faceted nature of the phenomenon
demands multi-dimensional treatment and this uniquely comprehensive
book provides an integrated overview of this important feature from
a wide linguistic viewpoint. In Welsh, Initial Consonant Mutation
has implications for historical and comparative analyses, phonetic
description, phonological theory, syntactic theory, and the
interfaces between phonetics and phonology, morphology and
phonology, and phonology and syntax. It also requires examination
from semantic, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives.
This study, therefore, brings together a variety of approaches to a
wide range of levels of linguistic analysis, all concentrated on
one unusual linguistic feature. A detailed review of past research,
together with an exploration of recent theoretical advances in many
areas, makes this an indispensable book for departments of Celtic
Studies and all scholars of comparative linguistics.
