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.

British Library Salmon, Joseph; 1897. 128 p.; 8 . 10352.f.18.
This book presents a comprehensive and critical overview of
historical phonology as it stands today. Scholars from around the
world consider and advance research in every aspect of the field.
In doing so they demonstrate the continuing vitality and some
continuing themes of one of the oldest sub-disciplines of
linguistics. The book is divided into six parts. The first
considers key current research questions, the early history of the
field, and the structuralist context for work on segmental change.
The second examines evidence and methods, including phonological
reconstruction, typology, and computational and quantitative
approaches. Part III looks at types of phonological change,
including stress, tone, and morphophonological change. Part IV
explores a series of controversial aspects within the field,
including the effects of first language acquisition, the status of
lexical diffusion and exceptionless change, and the role of
individuals in innovation. Part V considers theoretical
perspectives on phonological change, including those of
evolutionary phonology and generative historical phonology. The
final part examines sociolinguistic and exogenous factors in
phonological change, including the study of change in real time,
the role of second language acquisition, and loanword adaptation.
The authors, who represent leading proponents of every theoretical
perspective, consider phonological change over a wide range of the
world's language families. The handbook is, in sum, a valuable
resource for phonologists and historical linguists and a
stimulating guide for their students.
