Reviews

the first full-scale, generative treatment of the Slovac sound system...Many of Rubach's analyses are ingenious; most are convincing...Rubach's monograph offers the phonologist an insightful view of a challenging body of data. For the Slavist it should provide motivation to take another look at Slovak.
`Rubach has made his assumptions crystal clear, presents fully explicit analyses of an enormous body of data and provides his fellow phonologists with exactly the material they need to do whatever they will with it. It is monographs of this sort which prove to have lasting value, and Rubach's book makes a most propitious start to what promises to be a very useful series.'
