New to this edition: â€¢ Improved examples, over 60 exercises and 14 new problem sets from a wide variety of languages encourage students to practise their own analysis of phonological processes and patterns â€¢ A new and updated reference list of phonetic symbols and an updated transcription system, making data more accessible to students â€¢ Additional online material includes pedagogical suggestions and password-protected answer keys for instructors
