Summary: This book surveys the range of well-known non-sequential phonological phenomena that are problematic for the traditional one-dimensional idealization of language. It makes a valuable contribution to phonology and phonetics, focusing on the role of these simultaneous features in the relation between phonological representations and the speech signal.

Contents: 1. Gesture, feature, autosegment ; 2. Phonetics in phonology ; 3. Defining prosody ; 4. Modulations ; 5. On duality of patterning ; 6. Phonological events
