Opis

Phonological Architecture bridges linguistic theory and the biological sciences, presenting a comprehensive view of phonology from a biological perspective. Its back-to-basics approach breaks phonology into primitive operations and representations and investigates their possible origins in cognitive abilities found throughout the animal kingdom.

Recenzje

Phonological architecture is a valuable contribution to the study of phonology and related disciplines, and it suggests many promising lines of inquiry for future work.
