PHONOLOGY: THEORY AND DESCRIPTION
December 1995   6 3/4 x 9 3/4   288 pages
0-631-19232-8   paperback       $24.95
0-631-19232-6   hardcover       $59.95
This new textbook provides a compact presentation of the fundamental
concepts of phonological analysis, and at the same time shows how the
phonological system of English can be illuminated by such concepts. It
therefore bridges the gap between purely theoretical accounts and purely
descriptive accounts of English. The topics covered include syllable
structure, distinctive features, phonological processes and domains, stress and
 rhythm, and lexical
(morphophonemic) alternations. Each chapter is based largely on English,
or is followed by a chapter on the relevant aspects of English phonology.

ENGLISH SOUND STRUCTURE
1994            6 x 9           336 pages
0-631-18741-3   paperback       $29.95
0-631-18261-6   hardcover       $64.95
The book  draws on material from a wide range of dialects. This
orientation derives from the view that phonological differences between
grammars, no less than syntactic differences, are constrained by
universal principles and occur within fixed bounds defined by a small
number of parameters. Against this background, this book analyzes a wide
range of variables in English which offer revealing insights into the
limits of phonological variation. The reader is introduced to recent
innovations in non-linear theory, particularly those concerning the
internal composition of segments and their organization in constituent
structure.

INTRODUCTION TO PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY: SECOND EDITION
April 1995      6 3/4 x 9 3/4   448 pages
0-631-19452-5   paperback       $27.95
Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book offers a thorough
introduction to phonetics and phonology. It includes detailed attention
to articulatory and acoustic phonetics as well as to the foundations of
phonological analysis. The second edition incorporates several
improvements: a completely new chapter on speech perception has been
added, the material on anatomy and physiology has been rearranged and
much of the detail placed later in the book to make it less demanding on
readers, and the entire text has been edited to bring it up to date.

PHONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT: THE ORIGINS OF LANGUAGE IN THE CHILD
November 1995   6 x 9           272 pages
0-631-16354-9   paperback       $19.95
0-631-16353-0   hardcover       $49.95
This survey contrasts data-based interactionist, cognitive models of
phonological development with earlier deductive behaviourist and structuralist
accounts. Setting these models in current neurophysiological
perspectives, it integrates the flourishing independent research areas of
infant speech perception and vocal production. The book traces the nature
and timing of prosodic and segmental development with due attention to
evidence of individual differences and from cross-linguistic studies. It
describes the emergence of first words and the first phonological system
against the background of the child's social and cognitive development in
the first eighteen months.

THE SOUNDS OF THE WORLD'S LANGUAGES
August 1995     400 pages
0-631-19815-6   paperback       $29.95
0-631-19814-8   hardcover       $69.95
This book gives a description of all the known ways in which the sounds
of the world's languages differ. In doing so, it provides the empirical
foundations for linguistic phonetics and phonology. The scope of the book
is global, with data drawn from nearly 400 languages, many of them
investigated at first hand by the authors. A picture of the full range of
possible contrasting phonetic categories is created by comparing families
of similar sounds across many different languages.
