What is Phonotactic Grammaticality (Janua Linguarum. Series Minor) about?

The purpose of this study is to construct and evaluate a number of theories of phonemic grammaticality, hereafter referred to as TPG. By such a theory is meant a set of rules or principles by which a set of strings of phonemes can be assigned to levels or degrees of grammaticality. Thus, any TPG must provide the inventory of phonemes and phoneme strings to which the rules or principles are to be applied and the rules by which the phoneme strings are assigned to the levels of grammaticality. This study will be confined to a single set of phoneme strings -the actual and potential two-consonant initial prevocalic clusters of American English -and devoted principally to evaluating a number of level assigning principles applied to this set of phoneme strings. However, some discussion of longer strings and co-occurrence restrictions on non-continguous segments is to be found in chapter II. ## B. INFORMAL PRESENTATION OF THE PROBLEM In order to get some feeling for the discussion to follow, it may help to present some very informal notions of intuitive understanding of the grammaticality of phonemic strings.
