Sinopsis

This work is an introduction to practical phonetics, that is, to the description and clasification of the sounds of speech. The book leads readers to explore the range of human sounds by a series of introspective experiments carried out in their own vocal tracts, proceeding systematically from familiar vocal postures and articulations to new and unknown ones. By actually articulating sounds and attending to the motor sensations thus produced, it aims to give the reader a deeper understanding of the principles of phonetic classification. The book also contains information on recent research, particularly in the aerodynamics and acoustics of speech.

Críticas

"My favorite phonetics textbook--the most systematic account of articulation I know of."--Kenneth L. Miner, University of Kansas "Unquestionably the finest elementary text in phonetics to appear since Abercrombie's Elements of General Phonetics and Ladefoged's A Course in Phonetics."--Dale Woolley, University of Illinois at Chicago "Anyone without access to a good articulatory phonetician will find much in this volume, and those teaching will want to incorporate many of the exercises into their instruction."--Studies in Second Language Acquisition "A very welcome book by a distiguished phonetician. [Catford] couples his vast experience in fieldwork with his knowledge of the acoustics and physiology of speech to give clear guidance in the production of speech-sounds."--Arthur Abramson, University of Connecticut "My favorite phonetics textbook--the most systematic account of articulation I know of."--Kenneth L.
