Taking an interdisciplinary approach to phonological theory and
analysis, A Critical Introduction to Phonology introduces the key
aspects of the discipline. Departing from the mainstream tradition,
Daniel Silverman argues that the nature of linguistic sound systems
can only be understood in the context of how they are used by
speakers and listeners. By proposing that linguistic sound systems
are the product of an interaction among sound (acoustics), mind
(cognition), and body (physiology), Silverman focuses on the
functional consequences of their interaction. Now with each chapter
supplemented by a section on "Doing Phonology", together with
phonological examples from a large corpus of data, this expanded
second edition offers a provocative introduction to phonological
theory. This book is essential reading for all students and
researchers of phonology who are already familiar with the standard
approaches and provides both a new theoretical background and the
mechanical tools for truly successful phonological analyses.
