This accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonology, the study of sound patterns in language. Designed for students with only a basic knowledge of linguistics, it teaches in a step-by-step fashion the logical techniques of phonological analysis and the fundamental theories that underpin it. Through over sixty graded exercises, students are encouraged to make their own analyses of phonological patterns and processes, based on extensive data and problems sets from a wide variety of languages. Introducing Phonology equips students with the essential analytical skills needed for further study in the field, such as how to think critically and discover generalizations about data, how to formulate hypotheses, and how to test them. Providing a solid foundation in both the theory and practice of phonology, it is set to become the leading text for any introductory course, and will be invaluable to all students beginning to study the discipline.

Odden describes concepts very simply and clearly. However, there is no chapter on syllable structure, and IPA is not used. APA (American Phonetic Alphabet) is generally used, but very often the same symbol (for example, [r]) represents different articulations from problem to problem, and the font (something like Arial) is imprecise and sometimes confusing. There is a section comparing IPA and APA, which is helpful, but it would be better if APA were not used at all, or if the font in examples and problems made letters more distinct, or if at the very least one symbol always represented exactly one articulation.
