Overview

  • A theory of phonology...
    • allows us to directly state linguistically significant generalizations;
    • captures abstract universals about the phonological cognitive module;
    • (and is also learnable)
  • Boolean monadic recursive schemes (BMRS) is a logical formalism for implementing such a theory
