[Untitled][edit]

I moved these draft notes here from the article; looks like an outline of some proposed additions:

...the transformational cycle

...what kind of phonomena get explained: where stresses fall in an utterance, vocalic shift

...influence on modern phonology

Ha, I love how the picture is of an old and wrinkled copy of SPE...seems fitting, somehow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.158.132 (talk) 17:20, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's this about Lee Hartman?[edit]

It's not that Hartman's work doesn't belong in Wikipedia, but I've never heard of it and it certainly doesn't merit a mention alongside Chomsky and Halle in the history of phonology. Someone should move it to its own page, it deserves a link at most from this page. Putting it here isn't information, it's advertising. The only reason I didn't move it already is that I don't know enough about it to go putting up a new page for it, and I didn't want to delete it outright without discussion.
