Description
Having both a descriptive and a theoretical purpose, this book is the first full phonological description of Slovak, a language spoken by some four-and-a-half million people in Central and Eastern Europe. It is also a study of the theories of lexical, autosegmental, and prosodic phonology, with a particular emphasis on syllable structure. In a synthesis of these two aims, the author demonstrates how the theories can be integrated in a description of a single language.Reviews
"Rubach's analyses are ingenious....Rubach's monograph offers the phonologist an insightful view of a challenging body of data. For the Slavist it should provide motivation to take another look at Slovak."--Slavic Review
