Reviews

This book stands out in terms of the range of languages and perspectives covered ... fascinating, and a definite must-read for phoneticians and phonologists exploring the linguistic nature of gemination. * Donna Erickson, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America *

The book is excellent... It is important reading for anyone who works on the phonology of geminates, but its appeal is far wider than that might suggest. Because of the thorny empirical and theoretical issues raised by length contrasts, in particular concerning the relationship between phonetic properties and abstract phonological ones, this book will be interesting to anyone concerned with the boundary areas between phonetics and phonology. * Jonah Katz, Phonology * This book stands out in terms of the range of languages and perspectives covered ... fascinating, and a definite must-read for phoneticians and phonologists exploring the linguistic nature of gemination. * Donna Erickson, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America *

He taught phonetics and phonology at Nanzan University, Osaka University of Foreign Studies, and Kobe University before moving to the National Institute for Japanese Languages and Linguistics as Professor/Director in 2010. His research interests range from speech disfluencies to speech prosody and its interfaces with syntax and information structure.
