Reviews

extremely impressive in its scope. The author sets out to provide a full account of the phonology of Danish, and accomplishes this task...the book definitely lives up to the standard of the series Phonology of the World's Languages. This book will be of high value to those interested in phonology and morphology of Danish, as well as to phonologists generally.
