Phonology and Phonetics have had a tumultuous, if not always unequivocal, relationship in the past. This relationship between natural partners is now being invigorated from both sides and novel research techniques and methodologies are fostering new interdisciplinary questions. Consequently, a major issue today is whether it is necessary to draw a line between phonology and phonetics at all. This series aims to stabilize and strengthen the rapport and, by facing the big challenges, to ensure that phonetically grounded phonology and phonologically informed phonetics will have a sound future. The series is intended as a forum for the interaction of phonology and phonetics within linguistics. It welcomes joint phonological-phonetic ventures as well as initiatives from either discipline, as long as they are made with a view of the other.

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.

Das Studienbuch stellt auf hohem und doch allgemeinverständlichem Niveau moderne Theorien der Phonologie dar. Es richtet sich hauptsächlich an Studierende der allgemeinen und germanistischen Linguistik im Grund- und Hauptstudium, eignet sich aber auch für das Selbststudium. Die elf Kapitel widmen sich jeweils einem Bereich der Phonologie; z. B. den phonetischen Grundlagen, distinktiven Merkmalen, der autosegmentalen Phonologie, Silbenphonologie, prosodischen Phonologie und der Optimalitätstheorie. Jedes Kapitel enthält zur Vertiefung eine Reihe von Aufgaben.
