Despite earlier work by Trubetzkoy Jakobson and Greenberg phonological typology is often
underrepresented in typology textbooks. At the same time most phonologists do not see a
difference between phonological typology and cross-linguistic (formal) phonology. The purpose
of this book is to bring together leading scholars to address the issue of phonological
typology both in terms of the unity and the diversity of phonological systems.
