UCLA Working Papers in Phonetics (WPP) have, in the past (through 2002), appeared as a print publication at irregular intervals at a frequency of one to three issues per year. As of Fall 2004 WPP appears in electronic form only, via this webpage.  There will be no more print issues, and subscriptions to the print version are no longer available.  The electronic issues will be numbered continuing where the print issues stopped, so that the first electronic issue is #103 .  As always, electronic  issues of WPP will offer a preliminary report on work in progress at the UCLA Phonetics Lab.  

The last print issue to appear was #102 in December 2002.  Copies of this and other remaining print issues of WPP are available through the UCLA Phonetics Lab: $25 for the last three issues (all from 2002), or any other 8 issues for $10.  Availability, potentially out of date, is listed below .  Fourth class postage is included. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. All orders for print WPP must be accompanied by prepayment (US check or international money order) in US dollars. Checks and money orders should be made payable to "UC Regents".  To order print WPP, send a list of the issues you want (just write down what you want) and payment to:

Note that dissertations by students in the Phonetics Lab have not been distributed as WPP since 1995.   Hardcopy versions of a few dissertations are distributed by the Linguistics Department (click here ); electronic versions (in .pdf format) of some of the latest dissertations are posted elsewhere on the lab's website (click here ).
