Markedness: Reduction And Preservation In Phonology (cambridge Studies In Linguistics) - Paul De Lacy

Review of the hardback: 'In this extraordinarily detailed and empirically rich work, framed within Optimality Theory, de Lacy argues that substantive featural markedness is part of linguistic competence.' Phonology

Review of the hardback: '... de Lacy's theory is the first that provides a comprehensive and coherent framework for inquiring into formal markedness. Once the notion of markedness is defined in such an explicit way, it is easier to examine more of its effects empirically and find its proper formal expression in a theory of grammar.'
