There are a number of competing feature geometries in the literature, which differ in detail, but which are similar in overall structure.   The structure has a ROOT node dominating a branching tree structure.  This node itself can be marked with features, usually [consonantal] and [sonorant] (or the equivalent elements) and dominates a number of other nodes, including PLACE and LARYNGEAL.  The motivations for this more complex segment structure are various, but include rule simplicity.  For example, place of articulation <a href=\"http:\/\/blogjam.name\/sid\/?page_id=719\">assimilation<\/a> can be viewed as the copying of the PLACE node from one segment to another without having to reference the individual features that the node dominates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent phonological theories the idea that segments are composed of unstructured lists of features has been replaced by a model in which features are grouped together in bundles or gestures.
