Phonology Theory and Description

Aimed principally at the undergraduate student, this exciting new textbook provides a compact presentation of the fundamental concepts of phonology. The four main themes-syllable structure, feature structure, rules and stress/ rhythm include illuminating references to a variety of languages. No previous knowledge of contemporary phonological theory is assumed beyond that found in a typical first year introductory course, and each chapter includes helpful exercises and further reading. This colume is an essential text for students of linguistics, English language and speech sciences.Spencer, Andrew is the author of 'Phonology Theory and Description', published 1995 under ISBN 9780631192336 and ISBN 0631192336.
