Nordic phonology, Autosegmental Metrical Optimality Theory, FiNo 2020Abstract
In this editorial, we first offer a glimpse of the scope and traditions of studying phonology in the Nordic countries and how these are mirrored in the aims of FiNo and the topics presented at its 2020 workshop. We then summarize the individual contributions to the volume, showing how they connect nicely with an overarching framework, which we call ‘Autosegmental Metrical Optimality Theory’.
