Description

Book Synopsis
Brings work in human cognition, behaviour, and communication to bear on the study of phonology. This book maintains that language in general and phonology in particular are instances of human cognitive behaviour and aims to provide a set of principles connecting the phylogeny, ontogeny, and pathology of sound systems in human language.

Trade Review
“Tobin’s book is an exemplary scholarly work on phonological theory as seen from the perspective of the Columbia-Diver school of linguistics. The inclusion of clinical studies serves as a finely constructed bridge between the realm of linguistics proper and the numerous applications of linguistic theory in the fields of psychology and speech analysis.”—Edna Andrews, Duke University
