What is Phonology (Universals of Human Language, Volume 2) about?

The 46 Papers In This 4-volume Collection Pro-vide Clear And Certain Evidence That The Search For Implicational Universals Of Human Language (that Is, For Valid Empirical Generalizations Such As If Property Y Exists In A Language, Then Property X Must Exist As Well) Has Established Itself, Once And For All, As A Powerful And Dynamic Force In Modern Linguistics. Concomitantly, The Collection Attests To A Broadened Use Among Scholars Engaged In Universals Re-search Of A Theoretical And Methodological Strategy-pioneered, Elaborated, And Most Extensively Applied By Joseph Greenberg- That Contrasts In Fundamental Respects With Procedures Favored By Generative Grammarians. Finally, And Most Impressive Of All, The Papers Present Abundant Results, A Profusion Of Concrete Findings That Should Persuade Even The Most Hardened Skeptics That Implicational Principles Have A Great Deal To Tell About What Human Language Is And How It Got To Be That Way. -- From Http://www.jstor.org (may 21, 2014).
