What a huge job! The 1500+ pages of The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World have been proofed by the 173 authors and I have read every chapter online and on paper (because you find different errors). I have collated all of the changes, with assistance from Helen Blake. After a month of working days, evenings and weekends - it has been submitted. I expect to see one more set of proofs - then publication. Nearly there. Hooray. It is an AMAZING resource. Thank you to the fantastic authors for the outstanding research they do and have collated in this book.
"We would also like to sincerely appreciate the significant effort you have both put into collecting, consolidating, and clearly marking the corrections across the volume. We recognize the scale and complexity of this handbook, and your thorough and well-organized review has greatly supported the smooth progression of this stage." Suriya, Newgen | 25 February 2026
