The Segment in Phonetics and Phonology unravels exactly what
the segment is and on what levels it exists, approaching the study
of the segment with theoretical, empirical, and methodological
heterogeneity as its guiding principle.
* A deliberately eclectic approach to the study of the segment
that investigates exactly what the segment is and on what level it
exists
* Includes new research data from a diverse range of fields such
as experimental psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and
mathematical theories of communication
* Represents the major theoretical models of phonology, including
Articulatory Phonology, Optimality Theory, Laboratory Phonology and
Generative Phonology
* Examines both well-studied languages like English, Chinese, and
Japanese and under-studied languages such as Southern Sierra Miwok,
Päri, and American Sign Language
