This collection of recent papers in Laboratory Phonology approaches phonological theory from several different empirical directions. Psycholinguistic research into the perception and production of speech has produced results that challenge current conceptions about phonological structure. Field work studies provide fresh insights into the structure of phonological features, and the phonology-phonetics interface is investigated in phonetic research involving both segments and prosody, while the role of underspecification is put to the test in automatic speech recognition.

The book includes a selection of articles by Morris Halle dealing with issues in the theory and practice of phonetics and phonology. The articles, written in the course of the last forty years, concern matters that remain to this day at the cutting edge of the discipline.

The comprehensive analysis of the segmental and metrical system of the Swiss German dialect of Thurgovian provides a significant contribution to both phonetic and phonological theory. Based on the author's original fieldwork and experimental investigations, it is the first in-depth study of this area, tracing it back also to its Old High German roots, particularly that of the dialect of Notker. Quantity alternations - notably word-initial long/short consonantal alternations - asymmetric neutralization of phonetic-phonological contrasts, stress and weight are most prominent among the...

This edited volume investigates the role of phonetics and phonology in psycholinguistics. Speaking and understanding spoken language both engage phonological and phonetic knowledge. There are detailed models of phonological and phonetic encoding in language production and there are equally refined models of phonetic and phonological processing in language comprehension. However, since most psycholinguists work on either language production or comprehension, the relationship between the two has received surprisingly little attention. Prominent researchers in various areas of...

This volume contains a collection of papers that address issues in Spanish phonology from the perspective of laboratory phonology. It is the first volume on Spanish dedicated exclusively to experimental phonology, and represents the variety of issues in Spanish phonology that can be addressed experimentally as well as the numerous types of experimentation that can be used to further our knowledge of phonological issues. This volume is sure to be an important addition to the library of not only Spanish phonologists, but also of any professional or graduate student interested in the...

Prosodies, in the broad Firthian sense, covers phenomena that extend over stretches of segmental and featural units that must be examined with respect to their interaction with other features to fully appreciate their role in the phonetics and phonology of a given language. The papers deal with a wide range of subjects, from intonational prominence and prosodic phrasing to the acoustic properties of segments and features. Prosodies significantly broadens our knowledge of languages and dialect varieties that as yet have not been carefully investigated such as Cairene and...

The theme of this book is Change in Phonology, understood as encompassing both change at the level of the speech community and development within the individual speaker/hearer. As in other Laboratory Phonology volumes, thematically grouped sets of chapters are followed by a commentary by an author who approaches the topic from a different angle. The papers included in this volume are authored by linguists, psycholinguists, computer scientists and engineers and demonstrate that the Laboratory Phonology approach has reached maturity and has succeeded in its aim not only to bridge the gap...
