First Published in 2002. This volume is part of the 'Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics' series, and focuses on phonetics, phonology and diachrony of compensatory lengthening.

This study focuses on descriptive and formal similarities and divergences between CL of vowels triggered by consonant and by vowel loss.
