Universals of Sound Change in Nasalization by John Hajek

This book is the first detailed study since the 1970sof the characteristics of distinctive nasalization in sound change.
"I recommend this volume strongly to those interested in reintroducing the important role of phonetics into the study of both synchronic variation and diachronic sound change"Joseph Eska, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University

"Prominent among recent contributions is the present work, a slightly revised version of the author's outstanding 1992 doctorial thesis..the present impeccably presented work is to be warmly welcomed as an important contribution to the field. It may be hoped that it will serve as a catalyst for further investigation both in and outside Romance." Rodney Sampson, University of Bristol

Dr. John Hajek is currently Lecturer in Italian and is Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Linguistics at the University of Melbourne.
