What is shared by the contributors is the view of individual changes as embedded in phonological and morphological systems. A traditional umbrella category of change in systems is that of analogy. Somewhat less sanctioned, markedness is a basic relation shaping the structure of systems, in phonology as well as morphology. From contemporary theoretical angles the role of markedness and analogy for change is explored in this volume. |
