The international list of forty-five contributors, former students, colleagues and admirers, includes many world famous names. This volume on descriptive and experimental phonetics and phonology will not only be of interest to readers concerned with linguistics and phonetics but to those concerned with the teaching of English as a foreign language and readers in many other fields.
