Abstract:

Is speech in the mouth or in the brain? Do we hear with our ears or our minds?
The answer is: both. The sounds of language are both physical objects and
cognitive constructs. The physical aspects of speech are the province of
phonetics: sound waves that are produced by the movement of articulators and
received by the ear. Phonology, by contrast, studies cognitive aspects:
systematic patterns in the ways that languages combine sounds to create
meaning. Many books look at phonology and phonetics as separate disciplines.
This book looks at the interaction between the two.

"The Phonology/Phonetics Interface" examines classic and current linguistic
theories —including structuralist, derivational, and post-derivational
approaches—to explore how physical and cognitive factors interact in the mind
of the speaker and in the language system as a whole. The patterns of
phonology are often clearly dependent on the principles of phonetics, yet they
can also diverge from them in sometimes complex ways. The book examines the
roles of both articulation and perception in creating and maintaining
phonological patterns. Chapters are organized thematically around central
issues, such as categorization or abstraction, presented roughly in the order
in which these issues rose to the forefront of linguistic theorizing,
providing historical perspective without adhering to a completely
chronological presentation. Each chapter ends with discussion questions and
references for further reading. The book is suitable for students in advanced
courses and as an overview for professionals and scholars.
