Recenzii

'Hannahs & Davenport’s introductory textbook achieves the impossible. In straightforward, accessible language it covers the full range of basic topics that inform modern phonological investigation, from the phonetic properties of speech sounds that are the basis for most feature systems to syllable structure and prosodic morphology. The fundamentals of phonemic analysis are clearly laid out, and different current theoretical approaches are both motivated and critiqued, giving beginning students a thought-provoking taste of the issues that drive modern research in phonology.'
