Books by Heinz J. (University of Edinburgh) Giegerich

This is an introduction to the phonology of present-day English, dealing with three varieties of English: 'General American', Southern British 'Received Pronunciation' and 'Scottish Standard English'.

Heinz Giegerich investigates the way in which alternations in the sound patterns of words interact with the processes of word formation in a language. He develops a coherent theory of 'base-driven' stratification, which offers accounts of some central phenomena in the phonology of English.
