Drawing examples from a range of world languages, this textbook
introduces the ways in which speech sounds become different over
time. It explores how we produce and hear particular sounds and how
overall word shapes and the pronunciation of individual words
change. The roles of phonetics and phonology, morphology and
syntax, traditional formal models and recent exemplar-based work in
sound change are all examined. In covering both structural and
societal issues, the book integrates different kinds of historical
evidence and different theories into a coherent understanding of
the full process of sound change.
