Description

Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technical introduction to the physiological processes involved in producing sounds in human speech.

Traces the path of the speech production system through to the point where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervous system, muscles, respiration, and phonation.

Introduces more complex anatomical concepts of articulatory phonetics and particular sounds of human speech, including brain anatomy and coarticulation.

Explores the most current methodologies, measurement tools, and theories in the field.

Features chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of original illustrations which take the mystery out of the anatomy, physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speech research.

Includes a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics with additional exercises for each chapter and new, easy-to-understand images of the vocal tract and of measurement tools/data for articulatory phonetics teaching and research.

Password protected instructor’s material includes an answer key for the additional exercises.
