| Description: |
The Phonology of Armenian presents the first contemporary linguistic treatment of Armenian, an Indo-European language with distinct dialects ranging from Poland to India, and a rich literary history dating from the fourth-century translation of the Bible into Classical Armenian. Data are drawn from Classical, Middle, and Standard Eastern and Western Armenian, as well as the author's fieldwork on non-standard dialects. |

The topics addressed include syllabification, stress assignment, vowel ha |
