这项研究调查了冠辅音的语音行为，即用舌尖或舌叶发出的声音。这项分析使用了120多种语言和方言的数据。提出了冠状的定义，拒绝了当前的观点，即腭部为这一特征做出了积极的标记。特征[冠状]被假定为私有的；非冠状的自然类被特征[外围]捕获，该特征在特征几何中主导[唇形]和[绒毛]。这本书包含了属于六个冠状亚位(即牙间、牙列、牙槽、卷曲、腭槽和牙槽)每一个的音节音系模式的详细检查。假设有一套通用的特征可以解释这些事实。冠辅音的清单被深入讨论，不可能的对比用几个IF-THEN语句来解释。本研究还对卷舌辅音的音系进行了详尽的分析。假设了一组特征，该特征捕捉了涉及绕音和非绕音辅音的自然类别，并区分了绕音之间的各种狭窄类型(即颤音、TAP和近似音)。
This study investigates the phonological behavior of coronal consonants, i.e. sounds produced with the tip or blade of the tongue. The analysis draws on data from over 120 languages and dialects. A definition of coronality is proposed that rejects the current view holding that palatals are positively marked for this feature. The feature [coronal] is assumed to be privative; the natural class of noncoronals is captured with the feature [peripheral], which dominates [labial] and [velar] in feature geometry. The book contains a detailed examination of the phonological patterning of segments belonging to each of the six coronal subplaces (i.e. interdental, dental, alveolar, retroflex, palatoalveolar, and alveolopalatal). A universal set of features is posited that accounts for these facts. Inventories of coronal consonants are treated in depth and impossible contrasts are accounted for with several if-then statements. The present study also contains a lengthy analysis of the phonology of rhotic consonants. A set of features is postulated which captures natural classes involving rhotics and nonrhotic consonants and which distinguishes the various stricture types among rhotics (i.e. trill vs. tap vs. approximant).
