"[...] the articles in this book serve as excellent background material for anyone whose research interest is concerned with the motivation of, historical use of, and the phonological and phonetic grounding of features. In addition, the reader is introduced to the theoretical framework and the kinds of questions about phonological features that Clements, his colleagues, and his students were seeking to answer."Janet Leonard in: Linguist List 27.2969
