Abstract:

Understanding sound change through contemporary theory and historical
evidence.

* Offers broad linguistic coverage with examples from a wide range of world
language families including Germanic, Romance, Mixtec, Tibetan, Hmong, Hebrew,
Chinese, Kikuyu, Svan and Menominee

* Explores sound change from structural, historical, sociolinguistic and
acquisitional perspectives

* Takes a data led approach with worked examples in each chapter

* Includes questions and suggestions for further study at the end of each
chapter

Drawing examples from a range of world languages, this textbook introduces the
ways in which speech sounds become different over time. It explores how we
produce and hear particular sounds and how overall word shapes and the
pronunciation of individual words change. The roles of phonetics and
phonology, morphology and syntax, traditional formal models and recent
exemplar-based work in sound change are all examined. In covering both
structural and societal issues, the book integrates different kinds of
historical evidence and different theories into a coherent understanding of
the full process of sound change.
