This accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonology, the study of sound patterns in language. Designed for undergraduates with only a basic knowledge of linguistics, it logically develops the techniques of phonological analysis. Over sixty graded exercises encourage students to make their own analyses of phonological patterns and processes, based on extensive data and problem sets from a variety of languages.
a book that every linguist should have
| Customer Rating: | A perfect book for linguists and an easy to follow book for phonology beginners; Odden makes a great job instructing phonology and realizing it pragmatically.
Odden is a great linguist and phonologist
A must! book for every linguist!!! |
For ambitious undergraduates
| Customer Rating: | | Although this book is rather limited in scope, it provides an excellent introduction into phonological analysis. It does leave aside many topics and issues of contemporary phonology, but the covered topics are explained thoroughly and in detail. The students will acquire the necessary skills to do phonological analysis in any language or language variety. The author provides examples from many world languages. The book is abundant in raw data and contains loads of exercises. It is more of a practical phonology than discussing phonological theories. It is a good prelude for future field linguists. After reading the book you will not grasp a good idea of the differences between phonological schools and theories, but you will get adequate knowledge and skills to do practical analysis. The textbook is a gem for lecturers due to heaps of raw phonological data, examples, solved problems, and exercises. A must have for teachers and for ambitious students who are not going to learn the mere phonological theories to pass the exam and to forget, but to grasp the real essence and fun of phonology. Of course, you will need some supplements to this book in your courses, but you will never regret to have this book in your library. |
