This book analyzes 153 languages from a large variety of families
to establish a previously unexplored relationship between
phonetically conditioned sound changes such as lenitions and
functional (meaning maintenance related) considerations. Carefully
collecting numerous inventories of consonants, this collection is
likely to become an important resource for future linguistics
research. By distinguishing between phonetic and phonological
neutralization, and showing that the first does not necessarily
result in the second, Naomi Gurevich uncovers previously unexplored
and often surprising trends in the relationship between phonetics
and phonology.
