Review of The Phonology of Portuguese
Abstract
As noted by its publisher in LINGUIST 12.390, The
Phonology of Portuguese (TPP) provides "an accurate
description of the phonological system of Portuguese"-referencing
both European and Brazilian varieties, and
seeks to explain phonological and morphological phenomena
"within the light of current phonological theories." With
TPP, authors Mateus and d'Andrade have delivered a concise
and comprehensive English-language volume on Portuguese
phonology, nicely complementing the pre-generative English language
version of J. Mattoso Camara's 1970 work, The
Portuguese Language (translated by Anthony Naro).
