College and University Italian Programs in North America: Where Is Italian Phonetics and Phonology?
Mason, Keith
Polylingua, v1 n3 p161-74 Fall 1990
Argues for the inclusion of courses in phonetics and phonology in college Italian programs, claiming that the myth of Italian as a phonetic language blurs the clear need for such training and that students actually require advanced coursework in phonetics and phonology to improve their articulation and pronunciation.
