The Three Modules of Phonology and Multiple-Module Spell-Out Systems
Phonology is structured into three modules - Sonority, Laryngeal, and Place - each with its own vocabulary and skeleton for computation. These modules interact in multiple-module spell-out systems to map linguistic structures onto phonetic realizations. Sonority, involving the audibility of linguist
