CHOICE Review

More than 2,000 terms in phonetics and phonology are covered in this comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary. Intended chiefly for students and teachers of phonetics and linguistics, it features coverage of standard, well-established terms as well as terms from more recent developments, such as "Autosegmental Phonology" and "Metrical Phonology." The phonology of English is thoroughly treated, but terms applicable to other languages "are included if they feature prominently in the literature." The author is careful to distinguish between predominant senses of a term and senses less frequently encountered. In addition to defining individual terms concisely, the dictionary provides more lengthy explanations of the various theoretical schools, such as the Prague school and American structuralism. The definitions are admirably clear and feature the frequent use of helpful illustrative examples. Every term includes its pronunciation in International Phonetic Alphabet notation, and many terms include suggestions for further reading. There is an ample bibliography. Although other dictionaries of phonetics exist, this work is unique in its combination of phonetics and phonology in one thoroughly executed reference source. J. R. Luttrell Princeton University
