Introducing Phonology provides an introductory study of phonology for students of linguistics. The book examines both segmental and suprasegmental aspects of phonological structure and processes. It introduces the distinction between phonemic and phonetic analysis, phonemes in sequence, distinctive features, neutralization, marking, and language universals. It also explores the relationship between phonology and morphology and discusses connected speech and intonation. The later chapters examine dialect and accent, sound change, and normal and delayed language acquisition. The book considers phonology from both theoretical and applied perspectives, with examples drawn particularly from English. While sympathetic to generative phonology, Peter Hawkins also critically examines its assumptions and argues that phonological theory should focus on fundamental processes that recur across languages and historical periods. The book provides a useful foundation for students beginning the study of phonology.
