This textbook offers an introduction to the sub-disciplines of phonetics and phonology, and describes the sound structure of Italian and its regional variants. It also covers the relationship between sound and the written word, addressing potential pronunciation pitfalls for German-speaking students. Practical exercises at the end of each chapter review and supplement the learned material.
