This handbook presents the first systematic account of corpus
phonology - the employment of corpora, especially purpose-built
phonological corpora of spoken language, for studying speakers' and
listeners' acquisition and knowledge of the sound system of their
native languages and the principles underlying those systems. The
field combines methods and theoretical approaches from phonology,
both diachronic and synchronic, phonetics, corpus linguistics,
speech technology, information technology and computer science,
mathematics and statistics. The book is divided into four parts:
the first looks at the design, compilation, and use of phonological
corpora, while the second looks at specific applications, including
examples from French and Norwegian phonology, child phonological
development, and second language acquisition. Part 3 looks at the
tools and methods used, such as Praat and EXMARaLDA, and the final
part examines a number of currently available phonological corpora
in various languages, including LANCHART, LeaP, and IViE. It will
appeal not only to those working with phonological corpora, but
also to researchers and students of phonology and phonetics more
generally, as well as to all those interested in language
variation, dialectology, first and second language acquisition, and
sociolinguistics.

A remarkably clear and concise presentation of the phonological system of Norwegian by arguably the best Norwegian phonologist. The Norwegian language has undergone considerable change in the last 180 years, and in this book Gjert Kristoffersen considers the abundant evidence in order to provide us with an original analysis of the ways in which the sounds and meanings of competing languages may change and evolve.
