Summary: Paperback Kager
Comment: This book was good overall, with plenty of tableaux covering issues in phonology as well as syntax, and taking a look at problems with OT. However, there were LOTS of mistakes, in the tableaux (which made them very confusing for a beginner) as well as in the body text. The only other issue I have is that the constraint index in the back doesn't list all the constraints mentioned in the book. Maybe the next edition will be better. But overall, still a pretty well-written text.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic! Buy this book!
Comment: Great educational value; the first book in the marketplace with high value exercices on resolutions of conflicts between competing constraints. I have only a basic knowledge of derivational Generative Phonology, but encountered no barriers to enter the world of Optimality Theory.
