Heinz Giegerich investigates the way in which alternations in the sound patterns of words interact with the processes of word-formation in the language. Drawing examples from English and German, he uncovers and spells out in detail the principles of 'lexical morphology and phonology', a theory that has in recent years become increasingly influential in linguistics.
