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
