    <Paragraph position="0"> These papers are given in the same order as the categories of the previous section and in the order in which they appear in the collection itself.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Kaplan and Kay: Regular Models of Phonological Rule Systems. Kaplan and Kay have finally provided the &amp;quot;widely cited but notoriously unpublished work&amp;quot; (Ritchie et al. 1992:20) that establishes the mathematical foundation for finite-state computational phonology and morphology. This is without question the flagship paper of this collection.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Lowe and Mazaudon: The Reconstruction Engine: A Computer Implementation of the Comparative Method. This paper presents an implementation of a technique from vi Steven Bird Introduction to Computational Phonology diachronic linguistics, known as the comparative method, for comparing word forms taken from cognate languages in order to reconstruct aspects of the ancestor language from which the languages are derived. The system is applied to data from a group of Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in Nepal.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Daelemans, Gillis, and Durieux: The Acquisition of Stress: A Data-Oriented Approach. This paper consists of a rather striking demonstration that an empiricist learning model actually performs better than the nativist 'Principles and Parameters' approach, concerning the task of assigning primary stress to a corpus of around 5,000 Dutch words. Bird and Klein: Phonological Analysis in Typed Feature Systems. This contribution shows how a model of phonology incorporating complex multi-tiered structures can be integrated with a constraint-based grammar of the HPSG variety. Applications to nonconcatenative morphology in Sierra Miwok and deletion in French are given.</Paragraph>
