Degrees of complexity in phonological segments

| University of Connecticut
| Shenzhen University

In this chapter the authors discuss the representation of degrees of complexity in segmental structure. After exploring several measures of complexity in relation to the notion of markedness, five assumptions concerning phonological primes are listed. Adopting a dependency-based model using unary ‘features’, a brief introduction to this model, Radical cv Phonology (RcvP), is provided, focusing on its guiding principles and elementary units, the connection between the segment and the syllable (including a perspective on the relation between major class and syllable structure) and providing the representation of different groups of features (laryngeal, place and manner). The authors then turn their attention to so-called ‘complex segments’, proposing a formal typology in terms of the level in the structure at which complexity occurs.
