The phonology of most languages has until now been available only in a fragmented
way, through unpublished theses, or articles scattered in more or less accessible
journals. Each volume in this series will offer an extensive treatment of the
phonology of one language within a modern theoretical perspective, and will provide
comprehensive references to recent and more classical studies of the language. The
following will normally be included: an introduction situating the language geo-
graphically and typologically, an overview of the theoretical assumptions made by
the author, a description of the segmental system and of the rules or parameters
characterizing the language, an outline of syllable structure and domains above the
syllable, a discussion of lexical and post-lexical phonology, an account of stress
and prominence, and, if space allows, some overview of the intonational structure
of the language.

While it is assumed that every volume will be cast in a modern non-linear
framework, there will be scope for a diversity of approaches which reflect variations
between languages and in the methodologies and theoretical preoccupations of the
individual authors.
