«A Theory of Phonological Weight» is Larry M. Hyman's treatise on phonology, published by Foris Pubns USA in paperback (136 pages, in English).
The book offers a comprehensive analysis of syllabic weight in phonology and its consequences. Hyman proposes that the basic unit is the mora and argues that these moraic representations also serve for phenomena apparently based on syllables, as illustrated by Gokana of Nigeria, a language that may lack syllables entirely.
The work belongs to the series «Publications in Language Sciences», volume 19, and includes a bibliography on pages 131 to 136.
A reference work for university students and researchers in linguistics, particularly those working with phonology and prosodic morphology.
