Michael Hammond (born 1957) is an American linguist and professor at the University of Arizona. He was head of the Department of Linguistics from 2001 to 2011. [1] He is the author or editor of six books on a variety of topics from Syntactic Typology,The Phonology of English,to Computational linguistics. He is known for his research on meter and poetics.[ citation needed ] He has also published more than 40 articles and presented at over 60 conferences on these topics. He serves on the editorial board of several major journals. [1]
Hammond received his BA in linguistics from UCLA in 1979 and his PhD in 1984. His PhD thesis on phonology [2] was published as part of the Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics series. [3] From 1983 to 1984 he was an assistant professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Minnesota,and from 1984 to 1988 at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He joined the University of Arizona faculty in 1988. [1]

Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages or dialects systematically organize their sounds or, for sign languages, their constituent parts of signs. The term can also refer specifically to the sound or sign system of a particular language variety. At one time, the study of phonology related only to the study of the systems of phonemes in spoken languages, but may now relate to any linguistic analysis either:

Government Phonology (GP) is a theoretical framework of linguistics, and more specifically of phonology. The framework aims to provide a non-arbitrary account for phonological phenomena by replacing the rule component of SPE-type phonology with well-formedness constraints on representations. Thus, it is a non-derivational representation-based framework, and as such, the current representative of Autosegmental Phonology. GP subscribes to the claim that Universal Grammar is composed of a restricted set of universal principles and parameters. As in Noam Chomsky’s principles and parameters approach to syntax, the differences in phonological systems across languages are captured through different combinations of parameter settings.
