Note:
Main description: In linguistics, the notion of sonority is correlated with the relative loudness of speech sounds. Sonority is often claimed to be a governing force in the organization of sounds into syllables. However, there is widespread disagreement about how sonority should be expressed in our theoretical models of speech production and perception. This is the first book focusing entirely on sonority. The list of contributors includes many well-known specialists in the fields of phonology and phonetics. Alltwelve chapters in the volume present cutting-edge research on the function of sonority in linguistic systems. The controversial nature of the topic is reflected in the diverging opinions about the role of sonority in analyzing the world's languages. - Review text: "In phonological theory, sonority is crucial, perplexing, and controversial. Parker's book is the most comprehensive and detailed examination of sonority to date, and is without doubt a significant waypoint in understanding this crucial aspect of linguistic cognition."Paul de Lacy of Rutgers University "As a property that spans the entire gamut of speech sounds, sonority has been a key component in explanations of phonotactics and prosody. The papers in this volume explore sonority from a variety of perspectives (articulatory and acoustic phonetic, formal phonological, lexical statistical) and raise our understanding of this pervasive yet elusive feature to a new level."Michael Kenstowicz of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). - Includes bibliographical references (p. [411]-472) and indexes
