First published in 1988, Language, Speech and Mind consists of 18 specially invited contributions to mark Professor Fromkin's 65th birthday in 1988. It reflects her very special interdisciplinary interests and flair, thereby celebrating her own important contributions in the areas of phonetics, phonology, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and the philosophy of science.
