The distinction made by Basbøll between "formal" and "substantive" interests in current phonological research can be cross-classified with a distinction between two approaches to surface data. One, usually labelled "abstract," works toward squeezing all possible generalizations out of the data despite counter-indications on the surface. The other, called "concrete," works with generalizations whose validity and productivity can be verified with surface forms. A number of recent works are mentioned briefly with these distinctions in mind.
