Richard Wiese, Philipps-Universit�t, Marburg, Germany

(The Phonology of the World's Languages)

Featuring the most complete and up-to-date description of the
phonology of German presently available, this book applies recent

of morphology and phonology. It focuses on the present-day standard language, 
but includes discussions of other variants and registers.
