provides critical overviews of the major approaches to research topics of current
interest, a discussion of their relative value, and an assessment of what degree of
consensus exists about any one of them. The Studies series will equally seek to
combine empirical phenomena with theoretical frameworks, but its authors will
proposean original line ofargumentation,often astheinception orculminationof

Preface
The original idea for this book sprang from three international conferences on
phonetics and phonology that I organized in Tokyo and Kyoto during the period
–:ICPP,ICPP,andrdICPP.Theseconferenceswereorganized
by‘PhonologicalcharacteristicsoftheJapaneselexicon’,aresearchprojectledbyme
at the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) during
–.Sincethisprojectwasfocusedonwordaccentandgeminateconsonants
(orsokuoninJapanese),theinternationalconferencesfeaturedgeminateconsonants
asthemaintopicoftheirspecialsessionstowhichanumberofspecialistsinthefield
wereinvitedfromallovertheworld.Thisishowthecoreofthecurrentvolumewas
established.Infact,abouttwo-thirdsofthechaptersincludedinthisvolume,manyof
which discuss Japanese as the main language, are based on talks presented at these
conferences. The remaining third of the chapters in this volume were collected
individually on the basis of the recommendations by the series editors and the
authors of this volume. Most of them were then presented at GemCon , a
satellite workshop organized by Shigeto Kawahara, Rachid Ridouane, and myself
during the th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS ) held in
Glasgow,Scotland,inthesummerof.
Like other books of the same kind, this volume could not have been published
without the help of many people and organizations. First of all, we would like to
thank NINJAL for its generous financial support for the above-mentioned confer-
encesand workshop aswell asfor theeditorial workthatfollowedtheconferences.
Wewouldalsoliketothanktheexternalreviewers ofindividual chapters whoread
each manuscript carefully and provided us with invaluable comments, more than
once in most cases: Bettina Braun, Kaori Idemaru, Bill Idsardi, Allard Jongman,
Alexei Kochetov, Seunghun Lee, Bonzena Pajak, Sam Rosenthall, Kimiko Tsukada,
AliceTurk,WimvanDommelen,andTimVance.
Thirdly,DonnaEricksonandJohnHaighelpedusgreatlybycheckingtheEnglish
of individual chapters. Sayaka Goto, Yumiko Kinjo, and Natsuya Yoshida also
deservementionherefortheirserviceaseditorialassistants.Withoutthesepeople’s
help,itwouldhavebeenverydifficulttopublishthisvolumeasitisnow.
And last, but not least, we would like to thank theseries editors, Keren Rice and
AndrewNevins,andthepublisher’scommissioningeditor,JuliaSteer,forgivingus
moralsupportandappropriateadviceateveryphaseofoureditorialwork.
