Opis

This is the first comprehensive account of the phonology of Hungarian to be published in English. With the emphasis on descriptive coverage rather than theoretical issues, this book will interest phonologists as well as students studying the Hungarian language.

Recenzje

Congratulations to the authors for having written this excellent book, which, published in English, will make the so far largely inaccessible system of Hungarian phonology available to a large international public
