English Phonology and Phonological Theory

Discover the intricate world of phonology with English Phonology and Phonological Theory by Roger Lass, published by Cambridge University Press in 2009. This insightful paperback spans 256 pages and delves into critical issues in phonological and general linguistic theory through comprehensive studies of English phonetics, dialectology, and language history.

Dr. Lass presents a compelling argument that contemporary 'standard' phonological theory is often hindered by an unnecessarily constrained formalism and a limited database. His exploration invites readers to rethink established notions and encourages a broader understanding of the complexities of the English language. Ideal for linguists, students, and anyone passionate about language, this book is a must-have resource for those looking to deepen their knowledge of phonology and its applications in dialect studies.
