12 Chiara Celata and Silvia Calamai
contribute to a comprehensive overview of the issues tackled in contemporary
sociophonetic research.
We are grateful to all contributors for their valuable collaboration. Most of
the chapters were patiently rewritten more than once in order to improve the
book’s internal consistency and readability. We gratefully acknowledge the editors
of the Studies in Language Variation series for their careful comments and sug-
gestions throughout the various stages of the work. We are particularly grateful
to Pier Marco Bertinetto for having provided us with the unique opportunity of
organizing the sociophonetic workshop in Pisa, and for having supported all our
subsequent scientific and editorial initiatives.
Our hope is that the volume will be a stimulus to further productive inquiry
into the nature of sociophonetic variation and the way in which the speakers and
hearers of a language organize sociophonetic information in their mental repre-
sentation of speech.ReferencesBaayen, Harald R., Robert Schreuder, Nivja H. De Jong & Andrea Krott. 2002. “Dutch inflection:
