The Phonology of Welsh (The Phonology of the World's Languages) - Hardcover

The phonology of Welsh raises as many analytical questions as it answers. This could be seen as one of the book's strengths, especially since it does such a valuable job of marshalling the available facts in one place. It provides an excellent entry point for phonologists wishing to take these questions further, and will serve as an important reference point for future work on Welsh. (Florian Breit, Journal of Phonology)

This book does a superb job at covering the main topics which have been at the forefront of the study of Welsh phonology over the past half-century. Its ample bibliography and descriptive precision make this a suitable starting point for future research. (Jean-François R. Mondon, Linguist List)

This title provides a comprehensive account of Welsh phonology which opens with a concise history of the language and its relation to the other Celtic languages. Six chapters then explore its sound system, including the phonetic background, syllables, feet, phonotactics, and stress, and the characteristics of the dialects.
