the topics of the discussions
- The status of coronals and velars with respect to unmarkedness: Which are unmarked and why? Does it matter at all? (To what extent can we establish markedness relations between these two sets based solely on phonological consideration?)
- Universal phonetic interpretation of elements vs arguments based on alternations taken from languages where the interpretation IS different: can we have both, don't we ``cheat'' here? If it is not universal we lose the strength of the theory too...
- Let us suppose all forces are right-to-left: what do we do to phenomena like vowel harmony and progressive voice assimilation.
- Can GP and CV and the related thoeries handle stress or it is sent to Metrical Phonology? What is stress then phonologically: a CV? Harris 1997 does speak about such issues, how are those or other insights incorporated into CVCV or VC?
