Additional information

This Article is an enlarged version of Chapter II, Sections 2.3–2.4 of a Doctoral Dissertation written by the author under the guidance of Morris Halle (cf. References). Let him be thanked for his invaluable help. We also wish to thank Richard Kayne for undertaking the arduous task of revising our English writing. We assume that the reader has some degree of familiarity with generative phonology as expounded in Chomsky-Halle (1968).
