Overview

This book provides state-of-the-art coverage of research in laboratory phonology, an interdisciplinary research perspective which brings a wide range of experimental and analytic tools to bear on the central questions of how knowledge of spoken language is structured, learned, and used. The book presents works illustrating how laboratory phonology is practiced and highlights promising areas of current research. Contributions address how laboratory phonology approaches and methodologies have provided insight into human speech and sound structure. Part one introduces the history, nature, and aims of laboratory phonology. The remaining four parts cover central issues in research done within this perspective, as well as methodological resources used for investigating these issues. This Handbook, the first specifically dedicated to the laboratory phonology approach, builds on the foundation of knowledge amassed in linguistics, speech research and allied disciplines. With the varied interdisciplinary contributions collected, the Handbook showcases work in this vibrant field.

Reviews

<br> The Oxford Handbook of Laboratory Phonology aims to serve as a guide to the philosophy, workings and findings of the laboratory phonology approach. It achieves this goal by bringing together leaders in the field to provide state-of-the-art reviews of how laboratory phonology has influenced research in their specialist areas. --Linguist List<p><br>

Author Information

Abigail C. Cohn is Professor of Linguistics at Cornell University. Her research addresses the relationship between phonology and phonetics and is informed by laboratory phonology approaches. Her published work includes articles in Phonology and a number of edited volumes. Cécile Fougeron is Research Scientist in experimental phonetics at CNRS/University of Paris 3. Her research interests include the segmental manifestation of prosodic organization and the phonetic characteristics of speech disorders. Her published work includes articles in Journal of Phonetics and Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Marie K. Huffman is Associate Professor of Linguistics, at State University of New York, Stony Brook. Her research focusses on the acoustic analysis of speech, especially its temporal structure.
