Neef, Martin 2018 Chapter 7. Autonomous Declarative Phonology: A realist approach to the phonology of GermanEssays on Linguistic Realism, Behme, Christina and Martin Neef (eds.), pp. 185–202 | Chapter
In the paradigm of Linguistic Realism, phonology deals with abstract objects. Consequently, phonological units cannot be derived from phonetics as the material side of speech production and reception. I suggest a theoretical approach that conceives of phonology as autonomous from phonetics;… read more
Appelt, Annalen, Miriam Balestra and Martin Neef 2015 Orthographic constraints on the spelling of German a-soundsWritten Language & Literacy 18:1, pp. 153–174 | Article
In the framework of the Modular Writing System Theory (Neef 2005a), two levels of representation are distinguished that are relevant for the analysis of phonographic writing systems. These levels are called graphematics and systematic orthography, respectively. In this text, we focus on the latter… read more

In this article, a quantitative method to calculate the graphematic transparency of an alphabetic writing system is suggested. Graphematic transparency is a part of the traditional concept of orthographic depth, dealing with the direction from written representation to phonological representation… read more
Neef, Martin 2012 Boundaries in written representations: The potential beginning of words in GermanUnits of Language – Units of Writing, Joyce, Terry and David Roberts (eds.), pp. 209–225 | Article
Formal theories of phonographic writing systems have to model, among other things, the regularities in the correspondences between written forms and phonological representations. In the ‘Recoding Model of Graphematics’ (Neef 2005a), correspondence rules for individual letters, supplemented with a… read more

Neef, Martin 2005 The relation of vowel letters to phonological syllables in English and GermanFrom Letter to Sound: New perspectives on writing systems, Neef, Martin and Beatrice Primus † (eds.), pp. 205–234 | Article
Assuming that a writing system is inevitably dependent on a language system, the main function of written representations is to give access to the basic representations of the language system. In this paper, I want to deal with graphematic phenomena, i.e. the relations of written representations to… read more
