Description: Phonetics: The Science of Speech Production is a comprehensive introduction to articulatory and acoustic phonetics written with the needs of students in speech pathology, linguistics, and allied fields in mind. Successor to the author’s well received Introducing Practical Phonetics, it provides a thorough background in the theory of language, writing, and speech production as it relates to speech dysfunctions. The book introduces speech physiology in terms of specific articulations. The discussion of speech acoustics and perception clearly presents the processes by which physiological events are converted to speech sounds, and those intern or understood by the listener. Phonemic theory and suprasegmentals (including those relevant in English, as well as phenomena such as tone which occur in other languages) are fully covered. Clinical examples of speech, language, and reading disorders and nonclinical examples of historical sound change and dialect variation make the science of phonetics more interesting, more relevant, and more easily assimilated by the student.
