Abstract
This paper analyzes Logoori segmental phonology in Radical Substance Free Phonology, a theory of features where Universal Grammar only provides the abstract computational framework for writing rules, fixing the structural nature of a phonological representation in language (a sequence of nodes and relations) and defining the form of computations. Substantive content such as “labial” and “voiced” are not part of UG, instead the features classifying segments in a language are learned inductively from how they behave in defining segment classes for rule application, and from the need to give distinct representations to the various segments of the language.
