Syllables and segments

This volume, edited by Alan Bell and Joan B. Hooper, compiles selected papers presented at a 1977 symposium on segment organization and syllabic structure, offering a comprehensive overview of contemporary research in phonological theory, particularly concerning the syllable. With contributions from leading researchers, the book explores fundamental questions regarding syllable representation, universality of syllabification principles, and the relationship between phonetic and phonological syllables, ultimately emerging as a significant resource for both theoretical insights and practical implications in linguistics.
