'Monumental in scope and empirical coverage, and meticulously argued, this work will serve as a point of reference for all future research on consonant dissimilation and co-occurrence restrictions in general.' Gunnar Ólafur Hansson, University of British Columbia, Vancouver 'Based on a deep theoretical insight and developed with wide empirical sweep and focused analysis, Bennett's work thoroughly renovates our understanding of both dissimilation and assimilation, the core of segmental phonology.' Alan Prince, Rutgers University, New Jersey 'Aimed at those with a fluency in OT and an interest in assimilatory and dissimilatory processes, The Phonology of Consonants: Harmony, Dissimilation, and Correspondence is a comprehensive and game-changing addition for phonologists and advanced students working within the OT framework.' Amanda Dalola, The Linguist List
