"This is a great handbook. It's a thoughtful survey of contemporary phonological frameworks and of issues that arise in phonological argument. Many chapters disagree with each other in interesting ways, authentically reflecting the glories of current phonological debate. My advice? Read them all!"Patrick Honeybone, The University of Edinburgh, UK"This handbook is particularly valuable in that it presents not only articles dealing with issues that any phonological theory has to … but it also offers succinct overviews of different models in the field. As such, it will be of interest to linguists from all kinds of backgrounds in the years to come."Markus A. Pöchtrager, The University of Vienna, Austria
