by Martin J. Ball

The work brings together in one volume the results of existing studies on the speech sounds of Welsh and also presents original work by the authors for the first time. Existing works are not simply reported but are also critically assessed, especially in the light of contemporary instrumental phonetics. . . .The work is it looks at segmental and suprasegmental, and does so using different methodologies traditional impressionistic judgements, instrumental phonetics, and experimental analyses. The work is well-organized and carefully presented. . . . this text will be an indispensable and extremely useful starting-point for future researchers." Bob Morris Jones
