The Most Comprehensive Work On Dissimilation (the Avoidance Or Repair Of Combinations Of Similar Sounds) To Date, This Book Proposes A Novel Analysis That Handles Dissimilation As The Avoidance Of Surface Correspondence Relationships. It Draws On Recent Work In Agreement By Correspondence To Show That Dissimilation Is A Natural Outcome Predicted By The Same Theory Of Surface Correspondence. The Theory Is Developed In More Detail Than Ever Before, And Its Predictions Are Tested And Evaluated Through Ten In-depth Analyses Of Diverse Languages From Quechua To Kinyarwanda, Together With A Typological Survey Of Over 160 Dissimilation Patterns Drawn From Over 130 Languages, From Acehnese To Zulu. The Book Redefines The Core Of Surface Correspondence Theory To A Level Of Formal Specificity And Theoretical Precision Surpassing Previous Work. The Book's Findings Are Made More Accessible By Numerous Examples Featuring Data From 47 Languages From Around The World-- 1. Introduction; 2. The Surface Correspondence Theory; 3. Kinyarwanda: The Effects Of Domain Edges, And The Adequacy Of A Single Scorr Relation; 4. Sundanese: Complementary Assimilation And Dissimilation; 5. Quechua And Obolo: The Role Of Syllable Edges; 6. Chol And Ponapean: Complete Identity Effects; 7. Zulu Labial Dissimilation: Sctd And The Ocp; 8. Segmental Blocking Effects In Dissimilation; 9. Typological Survey Of Dissimilation; 10.
