It not only presents a synthesis of current approaches but also reconciles their discrepancies and presents critical commentary. There is a discussion of current theories, segment and syllable structure, stress, and prosodic categories and their role in determining the application of segmental rules. Two chapters discuss lexical phonology as divided into a cyclic and a postcyclic stratum, while the final chapter discusses postlexical phonology and some other approaches. The book includes exercises and can be used as an undergraduate or graduate textbook; at the same time, it is a valuable research tool for phonologists.

An introduction in English on the history * and historiography * of phonetics by the editor provides the setting for not only the reprint of Panconcelli-Calzia's work, but also for the ongoing research and scholarship in the field. A 16-page bibliography covers phonetic history writing over a period of more than one hundred years.
