Phonology and Phonetic Evidence: Papers in Laboratory Phonology IV

Description

The work published in Phonology and Phonetic Evidence presents an integrated phonetics-phonology approach in what has now become an established field, laboratory phonology. The volume is divided into three sections. Part I deals with the status and role of features in phonological representations; Part II, on prosody, contains among others two papers that present for the first time detailed acoustic and perceptual evidence on the rhythm rule; Part III, on articulatory organization, includes several papers that--from different perspectives--test hypotheses derived from articulatory phonology, thereby testifying to the great influence this theory has exerted in recent years.

"LabPhon4, like the other volumes in the series, is an important document of the development of this research strategy." Phonology "The book makes it clear that the effective development of the sound systems needs to unify phonetics and phonology into a more empirically oriented discipline." Stanislaw Puppel, Ph.D., The Phonetician "LP allows methodology in related sciences; including acoustics, psychology, information science and life sciences, and is becomming a powerful tool in shaping our knowledge of the structure of sound systems."
