Acknowledgments

I acknowledge the support and valuable contribution of the University of the Nations in Kona. Without the ingenuity of David Hamilton, Edson M. Suzuki, Youngshin Kim, Joseph Avakian, Michael Saia and others, who have collaborated in different stages of creation and development of uniskript, it would have been impossible for me to develop the 4-Questions Technique shortly described in this work. To Edson M. Suzuki, my husband, who has an indispensable role in defining and shaping all the phonetic aspects of my research, my profound gratitude, and admiration. And thank you to the Uniskript Research & Literacy Institute, in the person of Robert Norsworthy, for their support and inspiration.
