Pre-publication praise for this book Phonology in Context brings together in one volume 11 highly informative, fresh, and readable chapters detailing the multifarious and fascinating ways in which phonology interfaces with other levels of language, as well as in the social and psychological environment surrounding verbal behaviour. In contrast to traditional approaches in which phonology is viewed as static and context-free, in this book sound patterns are studied against the background of brain and cognitive processes, first and second language acquisition, as well as cultural forces. Readers will experience the kind of intellectual excitement that comes with an academic subject being brought back to life for them. It is also a mustread for graduate students and researchers, for whom it will be an indispensable reference. – K. K. Luke, University of Hong Kong Phonology in Context presents new research perspectives on phonology and language development, language disorder, literacy and conversation, language variation, language contact and second language learning and teaching. Martha Pennington has gathered here researchers at the cutting edge ... enabling a synthesis which marks the vibrancy, theoretical sophistication, and broad applicability of phonology as it is understood today. Common to these new understandings are realizations of how phonology is shaped by dynamic processes of usage. This book will stimulate and inform experts and novices alike. – Nick Ellis, University of Michigan
