Author Description

The work published in Phonology and Phonetic Evidence presents an integrated phonetics-phonology approach in what has now become an established field, laboratory phonology. The volume is divided into three sections: Part I deals with the status and role of features in phonological representations: Part II, on prosody, contains amongst others two papers which present for the first time detailed acoustic and perceptual evidence on the rhythm rule: and Part III, on articulatory organization, includes several papers which from different perspectives test hypotheses derived from articulatory phonology, thereby testifying to the great influence this theory has exerted in recent years. This, the fourth in the series of Papers in Laboratory Phonology, will be welcomed by all those interested in phonetics, phonology, and their interface.
