Phonological structure and phonetic form

de Patricia A. Keating, Mary E. Beckman, Kingston, John

Phonological Structure and Phonetic Form: Papers in Laboratory Phonology III brings together work from leading figures in phonology, phonetics, speech science, electrical engineering, psycho- and sociolinguistics, who together offer contributions at the interface of phonetics and phonology. The chapters in this book are organized in four topical sections. The first is concerned with stress and intonation (stress shift, F[subscript o] scaling, contrastive focus); the second with syllable structure and phonological theory (phonetic correlates of syllable affiliation, statistical regularities); the third with phonological features (pharyngeal place of articulation, acoustic correlates); and the fourth with "phonetic output" (sound change, speech synthesis). This is the third in the series Papers in Laboratory Phonology. The two previous volumes, like the conferences from which they were derived, have been influential in establishing Laboratory Phonology as a discipline in its own right. Phonological Structure and Phonetic Form will be equally important in making readers aware of the range of research relevant to questions of linguistic sound structure.
