"The book's attempt to draw together a wide range of research with an eye to the issues of modularity and the motor theory is not only successful but informative and scholarly as well .... [the editors] have honored Liberman well with the contributions and ideas in this volume."—Contemporary Psychology"This volume derives from a conference in 1988 that brought together the divergent views of the leading figures in the field and, as such, is an excellent report on the state of the art."—Studies in Second Language Acquisition"This is an important contribution to the speech literature and should be required reading for all graduate students (as well as established speech researchers) interested in perceptual issues."—Journal of Phonetics
