This book contains the result of reviewing the plosive inventories in languages around the world. By analyzing plosive phonemes found in 4,356 languages, their phonological characteristics were derived. A variety of topics are covered, such as the place and manner of articulation, preferred inventories and phonological opposition. In particular, various statistical results are presented in many Tables and Figures to help research on plosives. The typological tendency of plosives will be clearly revealed based on large-scale language data.
