Extract

The primary aim of this paper is to show by the analysis of an extended example that a phonological description which recognizes the functional variety of phonological description which recognizes the functional variety of phonological rules is more illuminating than one in which the data are handled merely as the output of a set of completely undifferentiated processes. In particular I hope to emphasize the value of distinguishing MOTIVATED and UNMOTIVATED processes in phonology.
