It gives a comprehensive account of the segmental and metrical phonology of the Ligurian dialect of the village of Miogliola, North-west Italy. Based on the author's own fieldwork, it is the first in-depth study of this area, also tracing its development from Latin. Feature assignment, underspecification, and quantity alternations are most prominent among the general theoretical issues on which the particulars of Miogliola phonology, meticuously analysed, are brought to bear with elegance and force UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110873023 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110873023 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110873023/original ER -
