Abstract
Government Phonology is a theoretical approach that characterizes and explains the makeup of sounds, the manner in which sounds are combined and organized in languages, and the traditionally so-called ‘phonological processes,’ such as insertion, deletion, et alia , that arise from morpheme concatenation. The theory relies heavily on the notions of heads and dependents, government, and licensing. In this way, the structure of a ‘syllable’ or of a string of ‘syllables’ within a word is a consequence of the relations that hold among phonological segments. The internal structure of segments is similarly viewed in terms of relationships between unary elements that inhabit head/dependent (or operator) positions.
