Reviews
?This new edition of The Handbook of Phonological Theory is remarkably complete in its scope and coverage of phonological insights and issues. It provides the linguistic community with an indispensable research tool for years to come, and a rich source of information for new generations of linguists.? - Geert Booij, Professor of Linguistics, University of Leiden, The Netherlands ?This is a timely volume. A wonderful collection of papers provides the most up-to-date view of phonological research, reflecting recent extension into studies on phonetics, variation and computation.? - Jongho Jun, Seoul National University ?What is particularly unique and valuable about this volume is not just the combination of the retrospective approach with the array of topics covered but also the strong empirical grounding found in most chapters.? ? Diana Archangeli, University of Arizona
