Abstract

Throughout its development, the Phonology has been presenting different approaches for the interpretation of the languages sound systems and phonological processes, that involves the denominated linear and nonlinear models. The first one, the phonemic model, with a structuralist base. The second developments of the classical model or classical Phonology or even the standard Generative Phonology attended by N. Chomsky and Halle, in The Sound Pattern of English (SPE), in 1968. The work opened studies focused on the languages phonological processes, for which seek to formulate rules, whose developments can be pointed out in current phonological theories. The sounds of a language description and analysis and the phonological processes are of great interest for these phonologies, including the Phonology of Features Geometry, by Clements and Hume (1995). In this work, we present a reflection on this theory and its contributions to the current phonology.
