The most up-to-date and comprehensive description of the Spanish language's phonetic and phonological system

Though there has been considerable research in Spanish phonology, until now, no in-depth and complete descriptive reference work has existed. Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española Volumes 1 and 2 is a comprehensive reference, written in Spanish, describing the phonetics and phonology of Spanish. Edited by Juana Gil Fernandez and Joaquim Llisterri, this set provides a comprehensive overview for understanding segmental and suprasegmental topics in Spanish phonology, making clear what further research is needed. The international set of contributors in this essential reference present evidence never before analyzed, introduce new theoretical concepts and issues not considered previously, extend the scope of the case studies, and organize its many subtopics, as well as suggest new topics for future research. A descriptive reference with copious figures and tables, this book is the key to the field's assumptions and a presentation of accepted research on which future scholarship is based. With state-of-the-art information on all topics related to the sounds of Spanish, Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, and scholars of Spanish linguistics who wish to deepen their understanding of the phonetic and phonological characteristics of all the varieties in the Spanish language.
