This monograph was among the most important contributions to the area of phonetic research in Africa. Drawing from a sample of sixty-one West African languages, Dr Ladefoged offers a description of the phonetic elements that cause differences in lexical and grammatical meaning. Supplementing Dr Ladefoged's analyses are a number of helpful diagrams and illustrations.
