Sonority Across Languages

We are looking at sonority patterns at the
syllable/word level in lesser reported
languages to examine how well the SSP and
sonority hierarchy hold up. Steve Parker's
interesting 2012 collection did not include
many languages other than English. We already
have contributions for Zulu and Putonghua. The
aim is either to publish a book in the
Multilingual Matters series 'Communication
Disorders across Languages', or a special issue
of the journal 'Clinical Linguistics &
Phonetics'. It is preferred if contributors
could report data from disordered speech as
well as typical speech, although it is realized
this may not always be available.
As a first step, please contact me with a short
CV and a brief abstract, noting the language(s)
to be covered and the data source and analyses
to be undertaken. We are not intending to cover
languages that have been well-reported in the
sonority literature.
Linguistic Field(s): Phonology; Typology
