Continental vs Insular Prince Trubetzkoy meets Professor Jones
The article is about the encounter of two great minds, apparently the nearest of men, in fact as far apart as can be in their aims and practice. Just as the habits of the English themselves, the phonology of English plunged Trubetzkoy into great perplexity. Jones, who did not seem to take much notice of the contradiction in his own definition of the phoneme, made child's play of placing the vowels of English on his celebrated Trapeze, and picking allophones. Unlike him, Trubetzkoy, faithful to Jakobson's law which specified that phonological stress and vowel duration were incompatible, suffered a great deal before eventually succeeding in complying to the requirements of the theory, and thus establishing a symmetrical representation of the English vowels. It is not certain that the final result is waterproof. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
