oop looks like i failed to mention #phonology in my intro
i'm an #exemplar and #NeuralNets guy by disposition but i think there's real value in #formalist approaches (à la Bale & Reiss, or the #subregular stuff); they offer a distinct mode of understanding (in a vaguely #Marr way but i've come to believe the notions of "levels" has been detrimental overall)
some day i'll get it together enough to get a piece on #explanation and #pluralism of #theory written somewhere
