It contributes to the growing interest in gradience and variation in theoretical phonology by combing research on the factors underlying variability and systematic quantitative results with theoretical phonological considerations. Variation is inherent to language, and one of the aims of phonological theory is to describe and explain the mechanisms underlying variation at every level of phonological representation. Variation below the segment concerns articulatory, acoustic and perceptual cues that contribute to the formation of natural classes of sounds. At the segmental level there are grammatical differences in the production and perception of contextual variation of segments and in the syntagmatic constraints on the combination of segments. At the suprasegmental level the mapping of tones to grammatical functions and vice versa is discussed. Further aspects addressed in this book are factors outside of language: Variation that arises as a result of a particular dialect or of belonging to a certain age group, or variation that is the consequence of language change. Gradience and variation have always been a central issue in phonetic and sociolinguistic research. Gradience introduces variation in phonology as well. If a phonetic entity can be pronounced in different ways, depending on the environment, prosodic factors or dialectal influences, this 'gradience' may introduce 'variation', which we understand as a stable state of grammar. 410 0$aPhonology and phonetics ;$v14. 606 $aProsodic analysis (Linguistics) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xPhonology 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 606 $aGradience (Linguistics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProsodic analysis (Linguistics) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xPhonology. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 615 0$aGradience (Linguistics) 676 $a414/.6 701 $aKu?gler$b Frank$01056039 701 $aFe?ry$b Caroline$0610168 701 $aVijver$b Ruben Florentius Hendricus Eduardus van de$01056040 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455135103321 996 $aVariation and gradience in phonetics and phonology$92490073 997 $aUNINA
