In this landmark compendium featuring original work, Perspectives in Applied Phonology provides a comprehensive look at the science of phonology and what it means to the practitioner and the children treated. An in-depth overview of generative, natural, and non-linear phonology gives readers a solid theoretical foundation to use in practice. A thorough assessment of current research and linguistic models brings readers up-to-date with the latest thinking. The book bridges the gap between theory and practice and gives readers a "linguistic point-of-view" to assessments and interventions. The authors shed light on up-and-coming speech processing models, advances in technology, and the direction of clinical applications in the new millennium.

Now fully updated with the latest research and references, the third edition of Applied English Phonology provides a detailed,accessible introduction to the English sound system. Discusses the fundamental concepts of English phonology, from phonetic elements, phonemics, and allophonic rules of English consonants and vowels to phonotactics, stress, and intonation Includes new coverage of waveform analysis, bilingual phonology, code-switching, and loan phonology Expands discussions of L1 contrastive phonological structures and markedness Supports students and instructors with sound files for transcription exercises and an instructor’s manual, available upon publication at www.wiley.com/go/yavas3e

Current Theoretical and Applied Perspectives on Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics is a 15-chapter compilation written by both established and emerging scholars representing a wide array of theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives. Each chapter presents original and significant findings, contextualizes them within the broader empirical work, and identifies directions for future research on a variety of subfields of study such as phonetics/phonology studies, formal acquisition theory, second and heritage language acquisition, language variation, and linguistic landscapes. Given its scope and significance, this volume will be of relevance to not only academics and researchers of all theoretical stripes, but also to a more general audience new to the field of Hispanic and Lusophone linguistics.

Element Theory (ET) covers a range of approaches that consider privativity a central tenet defining the internal structure of segments. This volume provides an overview and extension of this program, exploring new lines of research within phonology and at its interface (phonetics and syntax). The present collection reflects on issues concerning the definition of privative primes, their interactions, organization, and the operations that constrain phonological and syntactic representations. The contributions reassess theoretical questions, which have been implicitly taken for granted, regarding privativity and its corollaries. On the empirical side, it explores the possibilities ET offers to analyze specific languages and phonological phenomena.

Phonology in English Language Teaching is an introductory text, specifically directed at the needs of language teachers internationally. Combining an overview of English phonology with structured practical guidance, this text shows how phonology can be applied in the classroom. An introductory chapter provides the philosophical framework, followed by separate chapters on the phonology of consonants, vowels and prosody. As well as presenting core material on English phonology, the book explores the relationship of orthography to the English sound system from a historical and a present-day perspective. The final chapter focuses on lesson design and provides practical advice to teachers on diagnosing and responding to students' pronunciation difficulties. As central themes, the book examines English seen from the perspective of international usage and considers the relationship of phonology to communication and the broader language curriculum. Consistent with its practical and communicative orientation each chapter concludes with pedagogical exercises and ideas for classroom and community research projects.

Combining a strong clinical emphasis with new chapter learning aids, the Third Edition ofArticulatory and Phonological Impairmentsprovides students with a clinical framework that encompasses basic terms and concepts, phonetic transcription, and several theoretical perspectives that are extensively applied to clinical examples. While this text offers a thorough discussion of phonetic principles (also known as the traditional or motor approach) applied to the diagnosis and treatment of motor-based disorders, emphasis is placed on phonemic approaches. Contemporary issues such as features of a phonological assessment, various phonemic-based therapies, and newer nonlinear/ multi-linear phonologies and their role in the assessment and intervention process are treated in detail New to The Third Edition: Extensive revisions to Chapter 4includeNEWadditional analysis procedureswhich demonstrate the clinical applicability of distinctive feature theory and natural phonology. ANEWsection inChapter 5provides new information and research onphonological awareness, emerging literacy, and phonological disorders. Chapter 6includesNEW contentonregional and ethnic dialectsas well asEnglish as a second language, with expanded information on theTelsur Projectat the University of Pennsylvania andAfrican American Vernacular English. NEW Learning objectivesthat encompass the key points of that chapter have beenadded to the beginning of each chapterto focus the student learning experience. NEW learning aids, including case studies, websites, further readings, critical thinking activities, and test questions, at the end of each chapterprovide students with the needed tools to assess and improve their understanding of the chapter content.
