Stratificational Phonology
Stratificational grammar
A linguistic theory devised y the American linguist Sydney M. Lamb (b. 1929), as expounded initially in Outline of Stratificational Grammar (1962), which models language as a system of several related layers (or strata) of structure. Six strata are recognized for English and many other languages: the component of phonology comprises the hypophonemic (or phonetic) and phonemic strata; and semology comprises the sememic and hypersememic (or semantic) strata. Each stratum is organized in terms of a set of stratal systems, and each system deals with an aspect of linguistic structure which has to be stated independently of the structures operating at other strata. Two types of patterning are recognized: tactic analysis (the patternss of sequential arrangement within each stratum) and realizational analysis (the relationship between units operating at higher and lower levels between strata). A parallel terminology is used sememic/hypersememic’ system consisting of various structural patterns (e.g. ‘hypophonotactic/phonotactic’, etc.), defined in terms of ‘hypophonemes/phonemes’, etc., and realized as ‘hypophons/phons/morphos/lexons’,etc.
Stratificational Linguistics is a view of linguistics advocated by Sydney Lamb. His theories advocate that language usage and production is stratificational in nature.
Specifically, that there are separate 'strata' or levels in the brain used for language. Each level provides actualization or 'realization' for the next higher level, and the elements on its level are similar to each other. Several strata are involved in the production of a sound from an initial idea.
Some strata include:
Phoneme as the unit on the Phonemic strata.
Lexeme as a unit on the Lexical strata.
Morpheme as the unit on the Morphemic strata
Sememe as the unit on the Semantic strata.

土耳其文「脫落音」
土耳其文中有某些單字在加上格位等其他文法標號時,其單字本身的最後一個母音會脫落。
Resim(圖畫) + -im(所屬格「我的-」) → resim-im → resm-im(我的圖畫)
Metin(文章) + -e(到格「根據-」) → metin-e → metn-e(根據文章)

土耳其文中「母音諧聲」
土耳其文中的所屬格(genitive),是以固定的形式直接加在名詞之後,如:
el 手 (單數)
elim 我的手 el-im
elin 你的手 el-in
eli 他的手 el-i
elimiz 我們的手 el-imiz
eliniz 你們的手 el-iniz
elleri 他們的手 el-leri
但是所屬格的母音部分,會為了達到「諧聲」而隨著單字本身變化,如:
göz 眼睛(單數)
gözüm 我的眼睛 göz-üm
gözün 你的眼睛 göz-ün
gözü 他的眼睛 göz-ü
gözümüz 我們的眼睛 göz-ümüz
gözünüz 你們的眼睛 göz-ünüz
gözleri 他們的眼睛 göz-leri
所屬格中子音的部分完全沒有改變,但是母音的部分改變了。這樣的變化總共有四種,整理如下:
單子最後一個母音為: a 或 ı 則所屬格中的母音變為:ı
單子最後一個母音為: e 或 i 則所屬格中的母音變為:i
單子最後一個母音為: o 或 u 則所屬格中的母音變為:u
單子最後一個母音為: ö 或 ü 則所屬格中的母音變為:ü
範例:
top 球 top-um top-un top-u top-umuz top-unuz top-ları
diş 牙齒 diş-im diş-in diş-i diş-imiz diş-iniz diş-leri
çay 茶 çay-ım çay-ın çay-ı çay-ımız çay-ınız çay-ları

questions and sub-questions in phonology
Important questions of phonology
(7) How do we define the border of phonology?
(2) What is the structure of sound system?
(I) How is language and its parts, including words and morphemes, represented in the mind of the speaker; how is this representation accessed and used? How can we account for the variation in the phonetic shape of these elements as a function of context and speaking style?
(V) How can the functions of speech be enhances and amplified, for example, to give permanency to ephemeral speech, to permit communication over great distances, and to permit communication with machines using speech?
(6) What is the formation of speech sound?
(VIII b) Why is the vocal apparatus different as a function of the age and sex of the speaker?
(II) How, physically and physiologically, does speech work—the phonetic mechanisms of speech production and perception, including the structures and units it is built on?
(5) How do we acquire/learn the meaning of sounds?
(VII) How is sound associated with meaning?
(VI) How is speech acquired as a first language and as a subsequent language?
(IV) How can we ameliorate communication disorders?
(3) How language change affects phonology?
(III) How and why does pronunciation change over time, thus giving rise to different dialects and languages, and different forms of the same word or morpheme in different context? How can we account for common patterns in diverse languages, such as segment inventories and phonotactics?
(VIII a&b) How did language and speech arise or evolve in our species? What is the relation, if any, between human speech and non-human communication?
(1) What is the current methodology for phonological research?
(8) What is sign language phonology about?
