About the Companion
The Blackwell Companion to Phonology is a five-volume major reference work drawing together over 125 new contributions from leading scholars in the field. Led by a renowned team of international scholars, the Companion represents a diverse range of approaches and methodologies to the key phenomena in phonological research. In contrast to all other handbooks and reference works currently available for phonology, the Companion focuses on phonological phenomena and case studies to highlight the historical and ongoing debates in the field. In this way, the Companion will be a touchstone for future phonological theorists: it gives an overview of all the data and insights which any good theory of phonology should be able to cover.
The online platform provides audio files and additional articles, as well as interactive cross-referencing links and powerful searching and browsing capabilities. Simultaneously offering broad coverage and a high level of detail, The Blackwell Companion to Phonology is a forward-looking, landmark work that will be indispensable to students and researchers in the field for years to come.
