Simultaneous Structure in Phonology

This book surveys the range of well-known non-sequential phonological phenomena that are problematic for the traditional one-dimensional idealization of language. It makes a valuable contribution to phonology and phonetics, focusing on the role of these simultaneous features in the relation between phonological representations and the speech signal
