<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Structure-building rule''' is a rule which does not change already specified information. This rule just fills in information which is unspecified.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> the feature [voice] is distinctive within the class of obstruents, but non-distinctive in the class of sonorants. The latter fact can be expressed by leaving [voice] unspecified for this class of sounds. In the course of a derivation [voice] can be filled in by a structure-building rule. A property of structure-building rules is that the input and output are non-distinct.<br /> <br /> === Links ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Structure-building+rule&amp;lemmacode=277 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Archangeli, D. 1984.
