This volume explores several recurring topics in Romance phonetics
and phonology, with a special focus on the segment, syllable, word,
and phrase levels of analysis. An international team of experts and
junior researchers present research that ranges from the low-level
mechanical processes involved in speech production and perception
to high-level representation and computation, based on data from
across the Romance language family, including from varieties that
are less widely studied. The book is divided into five parts. In
the first, chapters present acoustic studies, examining topics such
as Italian anaphonesis and voiceless fricative sibilants in
Galician, while chapters in part two turn to articulatory studies
of features including three-consonant onsets in Romanian and rhotic
variation in Tuscan Italian. The focus of the third part is
perception, and includes studies of perceived phrasing in French
and perceptual cues for individual voice quality, while part four
examines phonological issues such as Galician mid-vowel reduction
and sibilant voicing in Spanish. Chapters in the final part of the
volume look at the effects of production and perception on issues
in language acquisition. The book draws on a range of experimental
and methodological approaches and will be of interest not only to
scholars of Romance linguistics but also to all those working in
phonetics and phonology from graduate level upwards.
