Ch 4: "go beyond the daughter phonologies to argue there is a layer of phonology (a cophonology) associated with the mother node, that is, the construction as a whole. This is compatible with Kiparsky’s Stratal OT approach (Kiparsky 2000), though not identical."

Has examples from Tagalog in Ch 6. Argues that reduplication is mostly at level of morphology, rather than phonology.
