Edited by Mark Gibson, Professor and Associate Director of the Institute of Spanish Language and Culture, University of Navarra, and Juana Gil, Director, Instituto Cervantes, Lyon

Mark Gibson is Professor of Linguistics and Director of the Speech Laboratory at the University of Navarra. His research focuses on articulatory timing in syllables from a Laboratory Phonology perspective. He is the author of An Introduction to Spanish Phonology: From an Optimality-Theoretical Approach (VDM, 2011) and of numerous journal articles in English, Spanish, and French.

Juana Gil is currently Director of the Instituto Cervantes in Lyon, having previously held positions at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and at UNED, the Spanish open university. She also founded the Postgraduate Program in Speech Sciences organized by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She is mainly interested in the phonetics-phonology interface and in some applications of phonetics, such forensic phonetics and second language pronunciation learning and teaching. She is the co-editor, with Ricardo Mairal, of Linguistic Universals (CUP, 2006).

"The volume does offer a welcome and timely survey of phonetic variation and how it ties in with phonology ... The tools and methodologies adapted from the speech sciences offer much potential to explore some of the outstanding issues and questions in phonetic/phonological variation ... [offers] new and welcome insight into Romance phonetics and phonology and innovative ways to integrate speech science methodologies into the study of complex linguistic questions." - Joshua M Griffiths, Linguist List
