Handbook Of Phonological Development: From The Perspective Of Constraint-Based Nonlinear Phonology

Review The Handbook of Phonological Development represents the future of linguistics, psycholinguistics, and speech sciences. It is a compelling synthesis of phonological theory and the learning and processing mechanisms hypothesized in modern cognitive science.Gary S. Dell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This book should be read by anyone interested in how children learn phonology.Laurence B. Leonard, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana Bernhardt and Stembergers Handbook of Phonological Development offers an excellent, scholarly tutorial on constraint-based nonlinear phonology and its application to phonlogical development.---Mary C. Berni, University of Memphis, JOURNAL OF SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY AND AUDIOLOGY, 2006 Product Description This work combines a collection of data on phonological acquisition with close attention to Optimality Theory. It blends the studies of linguistics, psycholinguistics and speech-language pathology in reference to phonological development. The book also contains a linear phonology, second language acquisition and inter-generational language changes.
