Laboratory Phonology 8

There has been renewed interest in universals in phonological theory in recent years, highlighting the need to explore the diversity that currently exists in the world’s languages. These issues are examined in a series of peer-reviewed papers based on presentations at the Eighth Laboratory Phonology meeting in June, 2002, in New Haven, Connecticut. Results from endangered languages, sign languages, and mainstream languages address issues of acquisition, production and perception as they relate to phonological form.
