Reviews

'… this book is worth reading as a highly welcome supplement to a field whose studies renew our knowledge, provide new insights and solutions to current theoretical challenges, and open doors to future research. It will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience of theoretical phonologists and scholars working on the intersection of optimality theory and phonological acquisition.' Asmaa Shehata, LINGUIST List 33.2007
