His article Simplicity, Ordered Rules and the First Sound Shift (Language, 1967) pioneered the introduction of an early version of generative phonology into historical Germanic studies. His reanalyses of Germanic i-umlaut are summarized in his 1992 monograph Early Germanic Grammar: Pre-, Proto- and Post-Germanic Languages (Academic Press). Recently, he has defended his account of Germanic i-umlaut in The 'Conundrum' of Old Norse i Umlaut: A Reply to Iverson and Salmons (Journal of Germanic Linguistics,2005).
