"Continuum Critical Introductions to Linguistics" present core
areas of the subject from refreshing new perspectives. "A Critical
Introduction to Phonology" is engagingly written and uses anecdotes
and examples drawn from popular culture to illustrate each point.
The book provides comprehensive coverage of all the key areas of
the subject, and Daniel Silverman prompts critical thinking about
this core area of linguistics throughout the text. It will
therefore be essential reading for students taking introductory
phonology courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to phonology which
departs from the mainstream tradition. Daniel Silverman introduces
the key aspects of phonology, and argues that the nature of
linguistic sound systems can only be understood in the context of
how they are actually used and experienced by speakers and
listeners. Using phonological examples from a large corpus of data,
Daniel Silverman introduces phonology as a practical subject to be
enjoyed, rather than as a theoretical minefield with no bearing on
the reality of how people speak.
