編／著／譯者簡介
Professor Jonathan P. Evans' main focus recently has been the search for phonetic and phonological properties of pitch that are cross-linguistic. He has also used a combination of phonetic and phonological approaches to solve problems related to tonogenesis and uvularization. He is also focusing on text-based descriptions of languages of Northeast India, in collaboration with native speakers.
