Description: Phonology in Context takes a fresh look at phonology in a range of real-world contexts that go beyond traditional concerns and challenge existing assumptions and practices. It brings together research and theory from first and second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, evolutionary linguistics, contact linguistics, clinical linguistics, cognitive psychology, literacy, and language teaching to suggest new directions for the field. The book includes original research and models, examples from English and a variety of other languages, editorial notes, and an original synthesis building on the authors' contributions. A stellar cast of authors from the USA, UK, Netherlands and Germany offer original perspectives on phonology, demonstrating to students and researchers alike the excitement of working in this field.
