Review: This is a perfect book for readers who are the beginners of Phonological ... - This is a perfect book for readers who are the beginners of Phonological study. It is well-organized and comprehensive in almost all the topics in the field of Phonology. The abstract and difficult theories can be easily explained with a lot of examples. That is the most impressed point!
Review: Nice introduction to phonology - Overall there's no question this is a good textbook, but there were some places where I thought the author could be clearer and more careful/rigorous. This is perhaps because the book is a derivative of lecture notes (and the author didn't have the time to revise it enough times). But again, I could, I think, get a pretty good sense of what phonology is about by reading this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, But Informative
*by A***R on May 17, 2013*

A good, easy to understand guide to phonology. It takes you slowly through a very complicated process, breaking it down into its component parts in order to make it easily understood. The beginning of the book focuses on single phoneme analysis, and in chapter four, introduces the features used to craft phonological rules, and from there moves into increasingly complex analyses, utilizing plenty of examples to illustrate its points. Yet the book itself is relatively small, which is a bonus if you have to carry around a lot of texts on campus.
