Based on 30 years of research, this book presents a theory about
the 'speech sounds' that occur in human spoken and signed
languages. Identifying the ultimate elements of which speech sounds
consist, Harry van der Hulst proposes a radical theory that
recognises only two elements: |C| and |V|. Based on a small set of
first principles, the book explains what a possible speech sound is
and provides explicit structures for all speech sounds that occur
in the world's languages. With numerous examples from hundreds of
languages, including Dutch, Czech, Japanese, Kabardian, Hungarian,
Korean and Zulu, the book also provides insight into current
theories of segmental structure, commonly used feature systems and
recurrent controversies.
