</span>Among his numerous contributions to his chosen field are many
that are
of major significance to the typological enterprise.<span style=""> </span>Over
the years Peter traveled to many
countries to collect data on a wide variety of languages, documenting
their
sounds and, in particular, looking for unfamiliar or previously unknown
phonetic distinctions. <span style=""> </span>The knowledge
acquired was distilled into his proposals for comprehensive typologies
of
speech sounds and observationally-based universal phonological feature
systems,
as in Preliminaries to Linguistic Phonetics (1971) and Sounds of the
World’s
Languages (1996, with Ian Maddieson).<span style="">
</span>This wide background enriched every page of his Course in
Phonetics (5th
ed, 2006), originally based on the introductory phonetics class he had
taught
with such success at UCLA, which has become the most widely used
textbook in
the field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

phonetician began from an interest in the question of what made poetry
sound
good, but soon progressed to more concrete topics.<span style=""> </span>He

experience led to his joining the Survey of West African Languages,
directed by
Joseph Greenberg and Charles Ferguson, and the writing of A Phonetic
Study of
West African Languages (1964).<span style=""> </span>This book
is still unequalled as a survey of the sounds of a particular region of
the
world, and pioneered the simultaneous application of multiple
experimental
techniques for the precise description of such data.<span style=""> </span>In

founded the laboratory that he was to direct until
1991.<span style=""> </span>In addition to work on universals
of phonetic systems his research over this period of thirty years
included the
modeling of relations between tongue shape and vowel quality, the
acoustic
characterization of voice quality, the reliability of forensic voice
identification, and the development of techniques for field phonetics.<span
style=""> </span>Under Peter’s direction the UCLA Phonetics
Laboratory became a highly creative and supportive environment
populated by
students and post-doctoral scholars, many of whom went on to become
major
phoneticians in their own right, and a roster of distinguished visitors
from
all over the world.<span style=""> </span>His creation of a
model of a successful phonetics laboratory is certainly as important as
any of
his research achievements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

grammar, with most of
your conceptual framework and illustration drawn from English or
another such
language of high curricular profile, you nowadays feel duty-bound to
mention
that there are other languages too, which on many points differ and on
others
don’t.<span style=""> </span>(That’s what is known as adding a
typological perspective.)<span style=""> </span>A difference
that is singled out with much more than chance frequency on such
occasions, on
the evidence of a representative sample of textbooks, is this one:<span
style=""> </span>unlike English et al., some languages have
two we’s, one to include and the other to exclude the addressee, a
potentially
useful distinction, though evidently not vital, or else it could be
expected to
be universal.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

across with
conviction on the point of inclusives and exclusives in future, picking
out the
single example from one of the textbooks or encyclopedias won’t do:<span
style=""> </span>that would not be doing justice to the
complex and fascinating subject of pronouns for inclusion and
exclusion, their
morphology, syntax, and semantics, their history, crosslinguistic
distribution,
and typological interconnections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="font-family: "Courier New";">Let’s face it (which is inclusive,
while let us
isn’t), there is now only one really authoritative source of knowledge
about
(in/ex) clusivity:<span style=""> </span>this book, the work
of an international team of experts on that category and the languages
that
insist on expressing it.<span style=""> </span>No pronouns
shelf in a self-respecting private or public library should be missing
it.
