Clicks, elements and concurrency

Abstract

Khoisan languages have always posed a challenge to formalphonology in the generative tradition, as their very large apparentinventories require an array of features used nowhere else. Irecently (2014) proposed a solution to this in terms of ‘concurrentphonemes’. In this article, I look at Khoisan from the pointof view of non-linear phonology, and investigate the applicationof the concurrent phoneme in this framework
