    Papers in Laboratory Phonology V^L Language Acquisition and the Lexicon

    Editors Michael Broe, The Ohio State University, Columbus Janet Pierrehumbert, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

    Papers in Laboratory Phonology V sets two new themes: language acquisition and lexical representation. Contributors tackle the central problem of what constitutes a possible word in generative phonology, employing contemporary approaches such as Optimality Theory, connectionism, and stochastic grammars. Several papers integrate the issues of lexical representation and language acquisition by undertaking to explain the organization of the adult phonologicalsystem as the end product of the acquisition process. This timely collection will be of interest to a wide range of researchers in phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics, and the study of speech disorders.

    International Phonetic Association. Handbook A Guide to the Use of the International Phonetic Alphabet

    International Phonetic Association Foreword by John Esling,University of Victoria, B.C.

    "This is an excellent book for speech clinicians, language teachers, and researchers.">-Dorothy Haubner, ASHA Review

    This book is a comprehensive guide to the International Phonetic Alphabet, widely used for over a century to transcribe the sounds of languages. The Handbook is in three parts: Part I contains an introduction to phonetic description and exemplification of the use of phonetic symbols; Part II consists of twenty-nine "Illustrations" of the application of the International PhoneticAlphabet to a range of languages; and Part III covers speech pathology, computer codings, and the history of the IPA. This is an essential reference work for phoneticians and linguists more generally.

    Contents:

    Part I. Introduction to the IPA: 1. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet? 2. Phonetic description and the IPA Chart; 3. Guide to IPA notation; 4. The phonemic principle; 5. Broad and narrow transcriptions; 6. IPA transcriptions for a language; 7. Working with the IPA; 8. Going beyond the IPA; 9. Some problematic issues; 10. The IPA and phonological theory; Part II. Illustrations of the IPA; Part III. Appendices.

    Coarticulation^L Theory, Data and Techniques

    Editors William J. Hardcastle, Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh Nigel Hewlett, Queen Margaret College, Edinburgh

    Coarticulation means the overlapping gestures that occur during the pronunciation of any sequence of speech sounds. This topic in the science of phonetics provides a challenge to speech production theory as well as to various projects in the field of speech technology, including that of building a natural sounding speech synthesizer. The eighteen chapters in this book cover the experimental techniques used for investigating the phenomenon, the experimental findings to date, and the theoretical background.

    Lexical Strata in English Morphological Causes, Phonological Effects

    Heinz J. Giegerich, University of Edinburgh

    Heinz Giegerich investigates the way in which alternations in the sound patterns of words interact with the processes of word formation in the language. Drawing examples from English and German, he uncovers and spells out in detail the principles of "lexical morphology and phonology," a theory that has in recent years become increasingly influential in linguistics. He queries many of the assumptions previously made in it to produce a formally coherent theory that offers new accounts of some central phenomena in the phonology of English.

    Table of Contents:

    A note of thanks; 1. A requiem for lexical phonology?; 2. Affix-driven stratification: the grand illusion; 3. Principles of base-driven stratification; 4. Deriving the strict cyclicity effect; 5. Phonology and the literate speaker: orthography in lexical phonology; 6. [r]-sandhi and liaison in RP; 7. Input vowels to [r]-sandhi: RP and London English; 8. Syllables and strata; List of references; Index.
