This book is the first volume specifically devoted to the phonetics
and phonology of geminate consonants, a feature of many of the
world's languages including Arabic, Bengali, Finnish, Hungarian,
Italian, Japanese, Malayalam, Persian, Saami, Swiss German, and
Turkish. While the contrast between geminate and singleton
consonants has been widely studied, the phonetic manifestation and
phonological nature of geminate consonants, as well as their
cross-linguistic similarities and differences, are not fully
understood. The volume brings together original data and novel
analyses of geminate consonants in a variety of languages across
the world. Experts in the field present a wide range of approaches
to the study of phonological contrasts in general by introducing
various experimental and non-experimental methodologies; they also
discuss phonological contrasts in a wider context and examine the
behaviour of geminate consonants in loanword phonology and language
acquisition. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach,
drawing on experimental phonetics, theoretical phonology, speech
processing, neurolinguistics, and language acquisition.
