Book synopsis

"Phonology as Human Behaviour" brings work in human cognition, behaviour, and communication to bear on the study of phonology - the theory of sound systems in language. Yishai Tobin extends the ideas of William Diver - an influential linguist whose investigations into phonology reflect the principle that language represents a constant search for maximum communication with minimal effort - as part of a new theory of phonology as human behaviour. Showing the far-reaching psycho- and sociolinguistic utility of this theory, Tobin demonstrates its applicability to both the teaching of phonetics, text analysis, and the theory of language acquisition.Tobin describes the methodological connection between phonological theory and phonetics by way of a comprehensive and insightful survey of phonology's controversial role in twentieth-century linguistics. He reviews the work of Saussure, Jakobson, Troubetzkoy, Martinet, Zipf, and Diver, among others, and discusses issues in distributional phonology through analyses of English, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Using his theory to explain various functional and pathological speech disorders, Tobin examines a wide range of deviant speech processes in aphasia, the speech of the hearing-impaired, and other syndromes of organic origin.Of interest to specialists in linguistics, developmental and clinical linguistics, and speech pathology, "Phonology as Human Behaviour" maintains that language in general and phonology in particular are instances of human cognitive behaviour and provides a unique set of principles connecting the phylogeny, ontogeny, and pathology of sound systems in human language.
