Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is the first comprehensive account of the phonology of Hungarian to appear in English. Hungarian (Magyar) is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by over thirteen million people in Central Europe. P--ter Sipt--r and Mikl--s T--rkenczy here place the emphasis on descriptive coverage rather than theoretical issues, therefore ensuring that the book will be of interest not only for phonology specialists, but also for a much wider audience interested in Hungarian.
MoreLong description:
This is the first comprehensive account of the phonology of Hungarian to have been published in English. Hungarian is a Uralic (Finno-Ugric) language. It is unlike other European languages, and atypical among the members of the Uralic family. The lexicon reflects the country's history, with the earliest layers of loanwords coming from Iranian, various Turkic and Slavonic languages, and German.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the general features of the language and its major dialects. Part II examines its vowel and consonant systems, and its phonotactics (syllable structure constraints, transsyllabic constraints, and morpheme structure constraints). In Part III the authors describe the phonological processes that vowels, consonants, and syllables undergo and/or trigger. They provide a new analysis of vowel harmony, as well as discussions of palatalization, voice assimilation, and processes targetting nasals and liquids. The final chapters of the work are devoted to processes conditioned by syllable structure, and to surface phenomena.
The book concludes with a full list of references and a comprehensive index. The authors have framed their discussions within a rule-based, non-linear framework to achieve optimum accessibility and concision. Their authoritative account of the sound-system of this unique language will interest phonologists and their advanced students throughout the world.
Achieves its goal splendidly ... The book has the quality of being extremely clear: it has been well proof-read, the glosses are reliable, the symbols/fonts are used consistently throughout the text. I believe that the book will become the key reference for Hungarian phonology for many years
