'This is an excellent proposal and what I have read of the completed chapters encourages me to support the publication of the book unequivocally... I think this would make an excellent addition to the growing linguistics output from Continuum, especially as it is not just another introduction to phonology.' Dr Ken Lodge, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and Phonetics, University of East Anglia. 'This is both a useful and important proposal... I feel that it is important that undergraduate and graduate students be able to have access to something other than mainstream received ideas, and I think that Silverman's book would provide this in an accessible form... its greatest strength is its originality.' Philip Carr, Professor of Linguistics, Universite Paul Valery, France.

Reference & Research Book News, August 2006 -- mention 'David Silverman's book is another welcome attempt at bridging the gulf between the two disciplines. The author is well versed in both areas, and his style is clear and pedagogic...His multidisciplinary approach is in parts highly original.' Per Lindblad, Moderna Sprak -- Per Lindblad A rare textbook that does double duty: newcomers to linguistics will be both educated and entertained by the engaging discussion, while seasoned linguists will be rewarded with a lucid and illuminating review of theoretical controversies in phonology. My own students will appreciate that Silverman articulates his own theoretical stance so clearly while at the same time offering plentiful consideration of alternative views. The ingredients for an excellent undergraduate essay are all contained in this one handy resource. -- -- Dr Deborah L. Anderson, Affiliated Lecturer Dept. of Linguistics, University of Cambridge, UK This book is a refreshingly original introduction to phonology, written in a very accessible style. It will be invaluable to anyone who wishes to urge their students to critically assess different aproaches to phonological theorising, rather than simply accepting received wisdom. -- Philip Carr (Professor of Linguistics in the Department of English at the University Paul Valery, France * Blurb from reviewer * Teachers of phonology and graduate students will find this book immensely stimulating and thought-provoking. * Prospect *
