Linguistic Studies and Language Acquisition

This contribution looks at how the field of phonology has changed during the 37 years between Neil Smith's 1964 PhD thesis on Nupe and his 2003–2004 lectures on the acquisition of phonology. It includes discussions of autosegmental phonology, metrical phonology, prosodic phonology, feature geometry, Optimality Theory (OT), the phonetics–phonology interface, and statistical techniques in phonology.
