The segment is viewed from a variety of eclectic perspectives, with contributions from scholars around the world representing all of the major theoretical schools of phonology throughout the text focusing on the segment as a particular topic within phonology and phonetics. The text also provides a short overview of the history of the segment in language sciences in order to identify the main issues at play, and the final section provides a valuable overview of the contributions and a summary of the state of current research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributions encompass fields as diverse as experimental psycholinguistics, language acquisition, mathematical theories of communication, articulatory phonology, brain imaging, signed language, and theoretical phonology. The unifying aspect of all the chapters is the focus on the segment, with the goal of advancing the field of phonology and its related fields by exploring and illuminating this narrowly defined topic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990338126053,"sku":"NP9781118555408","price":111.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118555408.jpg?v=1761787415","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-segment-in-phonetics-and-phonology-isbn-9781118555408","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
