Phonetically based phonology is centered around the hypothesis that phonologies of languages are determined by phonetic principles; that is, phonetic patterns involving ease of articulation and perception are expressed linguistically as grammatical constraints. This book provides a wide-ranging study of phonetically-based phonology, investigating the role of phonetics in many phonological phenomena.
