Review
'An excellent introduction to phonology. Difficult ideas are presented in an accessible manner - a plus for any textbook. It covers a variety of interesting phonological facts from typologically different languages. Using this text will acquaint students with the essence of theoretical concepts and phonological analyses.' Shosuke Haraguchi, Meikai University
'This book is a godsend for those of us in search for an introduction to phonology ... Odden provides the entire package of tools and raw materials that the student needs.' Lee Bickmore, Program in Linguistics and Cognitive Science, Albany University
'Odden's book stands out among phonology textbooks thanks to its focus on data and analysis. ... Students of phonology and phonetics would benefit ... and will find ... some explanations that are clearly better than those available elsewhere.' Times Higher Education Supplement
