Abstract

Along with an introduction to the present issue of Langages, the paper offers an analysis of the contemporary field of phonology. From the seventies up to now, different phonological approaches and frameworks are examined : autosegmental and metrical phonology, natural, lexical, dependency, government and geometry feature models are analysed as are more contemporary theories such as connectionism, harmonic phonology and optimality theory. The configurational and dynamical hypotheses that organise current phonological research are presented and discussed.
