Reviews

Marilyn May Vihman lays out a career's worth of work on the role of templates in children's phonological and lexical development. The book provides rich historical context and compiles a huge wealth of data in one place. It will be of interest to any student of phonological development. * Phonology *

...the great quantity of data used to support the idea of phonological templates provides a convincing argument for their existence...The theory is well supported with data and suggests a different way to look at children's early phonological and lexical development. The text is suitable for advanced students of phonology, phonologists and speech-language pathologists. * Leah R.
