Auteur: McMahon, April (Professor in the Department of English Language and Linguistics, Professor in the Department of English Language and Linguistics, University of Sheffield)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
About how languages change. This is also a devastating critique of Optimality Theory - the dominant theory in contemporary phonology and increasingly influential throughout linguistics. The author sets out its basis principles and shows it to be incapable of explaining either language change or variation.
