Books in the Cambridge Studies in Linguistics series

This book reduces, to a bare minimum, the primitive notions required to characterize the syntax of natural language systems, providing a simple yet explanatory formal basis for investigation at all levels of the structure and function of language. It will be ideal for graduates and academic researchers concerned with human language and syntax.

Examines how accents differ in 'voice quality' across languages and presents a new framework for its analysis with a revised model of lower-vocal-tract articulation, focusing on the larynx in speech. It will appeal to students and researchers in linguistics, phonetics, child language, speech science, clinical linguistics, and forensic phonetics.
