Language scholars from Europe and the US review current approaches to the phonotactic or syllabic organization of words in some 20 languages. They use a number of models to represent the phenomenon, but most adopt a constraint-based approach either in the context of models that appeal to language-specific constraint ranking or models that use no ranking of inviolable constraints. Most of the 22 papers are extensively rewritten versions of contributions to a June 1996 conference in PTzenas, France. De Gruyter books stand as golden beacons in a storm of plastic covered, junk paper, perfect-bound, sloppily printed, ugly trash books. The company upholds a standard of bookmaking that has all but succumbed to avarice and no-taste management. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
