Mateus & d'Andrade's work constitutes a practical and informative reference and will be of interest to linguists, students, and anyone seeking a broader understanding of the sound system and word-formation processes of Portuguese ... this book is an excellent empirical and theoretical reference Journal of Linguistics Mateus & d'Andrade have crafted a very easy to read, well-organised exposition of their favourite analyses quite suitable for a course in the structure of Portuguese phonology Phonology This is a much appreciated book for those of us who regularly teach a course on the synchronic phonology and morphophonology of Portuguese ... the book has the tone of a course both in its presentation and organisation Phonology I see Mateus and d'Andrade's analyses serving as a springboard for future discussion on this most interesting and (dare I say) underappreciated Romance language David J. Silva Authors Mateus and d'Andrade have delivered a concise and comprehensive English-language volume on Portuguese phonology, nicely complementing the pre-generative English- language version of J. Mattoso Camara's 1970 work, The Portuguese Language (translated by Anthony Naro) David J. Silva I suspect that some of the theoretical analyses presented in the book will become the standard accounts for Portuguese David J. Silva
