Class book, really well designed and composed. Pretty diverse selection for examples too. Bonus points for optimality theory representation

[Michelle Lopez · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had a difficult time following this book because it doesn't have enough subheadings or bold letters to signal important terms within the book.

The best book to start with for someone who's reading about phonetics and phonology from scratch. Simple and Straightforward Explanation!
