A Workbook in Phonology

A Workbook in Phonology has been written to accompany A Course in Phonology , but may be used as a self–contained work or in conjunction with other teaching books. It contains over a hundred exercises, arranged in order of difficulty within each section, and covering the areas of distinctive features, underspecification, syllables, stress, tone, the phonology/morphology interface, phonological domains, derivational formalism, and Optimality Theory. As an accompanying volume, it is specifically related to the chapters and sections of A Course in Phonology , and it includes an Exercise Cross–Reference Table to facilitate its use.
