Reviews
The study of second-language perception and phonology is exciting because it is very interdisciplinary, addressing topics such as age-related changes in neural plasticity, the architecture of human speech processing, and practical techniques for improving second-language learning. This book provides a highly useful international survey of work in this field, and is particularly strong in its coverage of phonetic, phonological, and pedagogical approaches. - Paul Iverson, University College London
