  Morris Halle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morris Halle, né Pinkowitz, is an American linguist.
He entered the United States Army in 1943 and was discharged in 1946, at which point he went to the University of Chicago, where he got his master's degree in linguistics in 1948.
Halle is likely best known for his pioneering work in generative phonology, having written "On accent and juncture in English" in 1956 with Noam Chomsky and Fred Lukoff and The Sound Pattern of English in 1968 with Chomsky.

 The Sound Pattern of English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sound Pattern of English (frequently referred to as SPE) is a work on phonology (a branch of linguistics) by Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle.
Chomsky and Halle present a view of phonology as a linguistic subsystem, separate from other components of the grammar, that transforms an underlying phonemic sequence according to rules and produces as its output the phonetic form that is uttered by a speaker.
The theory fits with the rest of Chomsky's early theories of language in the sense that it is transformational; as such it serves as a landmark in Chomsky's theories by adding a clearly articulated theory of phonology to his previous work which focused on syntax.

 Versification
Halle and Keyser’s notion of stress maximum in a weak position is a powerful tool to describe a very high degree of deviance in versification; but it does not necessarily render a verse line unmetrical.
It was Morris Halle and Samuel Jay Keyser (1971) who proposed in their generative theory an exceptionally parsimonious criterion for distinguishing all "metrical" lines from all "unmetrical" lines, assuming that this criterion is internalised by the reader.
Halle and Keyser (1966) have formulated the conditions under which this can be done, among them: when there are two consecutive vowels with no intervening consonant; or are separated by a sonorant or by a voiced fricative; sometimes two (unstressed) function words can be allocated to one position.

Halle's research has focused on the sound structure of language (phonology), broadly conceived, from the acoustic and articulatory properties of speech to the theoretical bases of the field.
Halle received his M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1948, his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1955.
Halle has been a Professor at MIT since 1951, holding positions from Assistant Professor to Institute Professor.

 Language Log: The ant, the spider and the bee
Last Friday, at the 2004 LSA Annual Meeting, Morris Halle gave an invited plenary address "In Honor of the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the Linguistic Society." His title was "Moving On."
Morris -- who has given many speeches in his 80 years -- commented at the start of his talk that this was the largest audience he had ever addressed.
Morris explained to me, not for the last time, his view that theories and formalisms are best seen as tools for exploring nature, making it possible to ask and answer descriptive questions in a systematic and incrementally more revealing way.

 Elsewhere and Otherwise - A. Prince
A single observation of type A, such as Halle aims to provide, cannot entirely persuade us that the universe lacks, or ought to lack, not-A. The force of the argument-from- one-data-point is further subverted by the character of the rule interaction.
Moving to the larger stage, Halle rejects the existence of faithfulness constraints, which are fundamental to Optimality Theory, in a single broad stroke: “the existence of phonology in every language shows that Faithfulness is at best an ineffective principle that might well be done without.” This assertion is puzzling indeed.
Observe that the Myers 1987 analysis, which Halle modifies, understands the shortening effect in terms of otherwise-motivated processes of the language, interacting with universal conditions; Myers seeks to eliminate the shortening rule entirely, not just to re-phrase it.

Professor Halle will start this course with a general lecture on metrics.
Session 1: 'Literary form, from a linguistic perspective.' This session looks at kinds of form which are specific to verbal art (literature) and asks whether they are analogous to kinds of linguistic form (such as phonological and syntactic form).
Halle's classes relate to other kinds of form in verse: to the line and stanza, to parallelism and sound patterning, and to linguistic constituents such as the phonological word and phrase.

 Reduplication
In his course "Six Problems in Phonology and Their Solution" at LSA 2005 Summer Institute at MIT, Morris Halle presented an analysis of reduplication that is remarkably similar to the approach taken in the Beesley and Karttunen chapter on Non-concatenative morphotactics.
In Halle's analysis, the plural morpheme has no phonetic substance but it "triggers Readjustment rules which insert square bracket junctures into the underlying junctureless segment sequence of the stems when these are in construction with a Plural morpheme." For example, in Agta the underlying singular form pusa becomes [pus]a.
Actually Halle does not insert the square brackets into the phonological string but rather into the timing units that they correspond to in one-to-one fashion.

 Distinctive Feature Theory
Morris Halle's 'Sound Pattern of Russian' [The Hague: Mouton, 1959] was really the first influential textbook in modern phonological theory (just two years after Noam Chomsky's 'Syntactic Structures' [The Hague: Mouton, 1957], the first influential textbook in modern syntactic theory).
In the end there is a very good reason for doing this: it becomes possible to explain some phonological processes in terms of the behaviour of their phonetic correlates.
The distinctive feature set most usually found is approximately that of M. Halle and G.N. Clements 'Problem Book in Phonology' [Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1983], which is based on the Chomsky and Halle set.

The plenary speaker for this congress ­ who was, in a sense, supposed to represent American linguistics ­; was to have been Zellig Harris, but Harris delayed deciding whether to accept the invitation, and finally turned it down shortly before the congress was scheduled to take place.
Three of the congress organizers, Morris Halle, Roman Jakobson, and William Locke (all mit linguists), convinced Chomsky to replace Harris.
He gave another set of lectures to a general audience, in Berkeley, in January of 1967, which was expanded and published as Language and Mind in 1968 (an enlarged edition ­ several later essays were added ­ came out in 1972).
