Reviews

An important contribution to the literature in its careful study of a large number of inventories, its explicit contrast-based procedure for determining features and its contribution to understanding noncontrastive differences within and between languages. * Keren Rice, Folia Linguistica * This is a book that takes a bold position and identifies a large number of critical cases. It lays out a road map for all kinds of follow-up studies. This makes the book a great resource for anyone who is looking for a self-contained and clearly defined phonological research question, or anyone whose job involves helping students develop such questions. * Jeff Mielke, Language *
