We are pleased to be able to honor Arthur J. Bronstein with this
volume of essays. We are all the more pleased because the volume
has consider able intrinsic merit, but neither the reader nor
Arthur should have any doubts about our primary purpose in
assembling this book. That the col lection is intrinsically
valuable is, in itself, a tribute to the man whom it honors: The
contributing authors are all colleagues, students, and friends of
Arthur. Readers who are acquainted with Arthur will not be
surprised by the broad range of academic expertise which has been
brought to bear on the subject of language in this book. They will
recognize that Arthur's own range of expertise and interest is only
barely matched by the contents of the essays and the backgrounds of
their authors. On the other hand, those who know little about
Arthur may have thought of him primarily in narrow association with
phonetics and lin guistics, most likely as the author of The
Pronunciation of American English, surely the most influential of
American phonetics texts during the last quarter of a century.
Although such an association is in many respects appropriate, it is
altogether too limited, but this will not deter us from using it as
the basis for a relevant and, we hope, revealing metaphor about
Arthur J."
