Besides accurate descriptions of partly new data, the book features a wide variety of formal phonological analyses and evaluates their explanatory adequacy. It concludes with a discussion of the locus of metaphony in grammar. This collection bridges the gap between descriptive works and theoretical thinking in the study of metaphony.
