Author Description

This volume captures a wide spectrum of phonological explorations covering three main areas: the architecture of phonological research; the analysis of phonological patterning; and the effects when the phonologies of different languages meet. These numerous shades of phonological patterning are revealed through the work of authors who hail from Australasia, Asia to America, featuring, among others, such giants as Paul Kiparsky, Diana Archangeli, Douglas Pulleyblank, Sharon Inkelas, Ellen Broselow, Duanmu San, Yen-hwei Lin, and James Myers.
