In classical approaches, segments below the skeleton in autosegmental representation have phonetic properties such as [+labial] or [+palatal]. These segments which belong to phonology should not have phonetic correlates according to subtance-free phonology. Therefore, items below the skeleton can be represented with substance-free and abstract symbols such as α, β, γ. Phonetic correlates are associated post-phonologically at the phonology-phonetics interface. That primes below the skeleton are associated with phonetic correlates at the phonology-phonetics interface is completely arbitrary. In this regard, it can be concluded that items below the skeleton are phonologically meaningless. On the contrary, items at and above the skeleton are phonologically meaningful and have stable behavior cross-linguistically. The argument that there are two phonologies which are comprised of units below the skeleton and items at and above the skeleton underlies this paper.

Hangi sesbilim?

Öz

Geleneksel yaklaşımlarda, özerkparçasal gösterimde çatının altındaki parçaların [+dudaksıl] ya da [+damaksıl] gibi sesbilgisel özellikleri bulunmaktadır. Varlıksız Sesbilimde, sesbilime ait olan bu parçaların sesbilgisel bağıntılarının olmaması gerektiğini savunulmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çatının altındaki ögeler α, β, γ gibi varlıksız ve soyut simgelerle gösterilebilmektedir. Sesbilgisel bağıntılar, artsesbilimsel olarak sesbilim-sesbilgisi arakesitinde atanmaktadır. Çatının altındaki asalların, sesbilim-sesbilgisi arakesitinde sesbilgisel bağıntılarla ilişkilendirilmeleri tamamıyla nedensizdir. Bu bağlamda çatının altındaki birimlerin sesbilimsel yönden anlamsız olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır. Tam tersine, çatıdaki ve çatının üstündeki birimler, sesbilimsel yönden anlamlıdır ve dillerarası tutarlı davranışları bulunmaktadır. Çatının altındaki birimler ile çatıdaki ve çatının üzerindeki ögelerin oluşturduğu iki sesbilim savı bu yazının temelini oluşturmaktadır.
