Description: Phonetics and Speech Science by Ian R.A. MacKay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Written in a clear, approachable way, this textbook provides an introduction to the science of phonetics: how speech sounds are produced, how we classify them, and how they are processed to allow the rapid transmission of language-based messages. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is ideal for a beginner to the field. Publisher Description Phonetics is a fundamental building block not just in linguistics but also in fields such as communication disorders. However, introductions to phonetics can often assume a background in linguistics, whilst at the same time overlooking the clinical and scientific aspects of the field. This textbook fills this gap by providing a comprehensive yet accessible overview of phonetics that delves into the fundamental science underlying the production of speech. Written with beginners in mind, it focuses on the anatomy and physiology of speech, while at the same time explaining the very basics of phonetics, such as the phonemes of English, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and phonetic transcription systems. It presents the sounds of speech as elements of linguistic structure and as the result of complex biological mechanics. It explains complicated terminology in a clear, easy-to-understand way, and provides examples from a range of languages, from disorders of speech, and from language learning. Author Biography Ian R. A. MacKay is retired professor of linguistics at the University of Ottawa. He has taught phonetics and speech science for forty-five years to students of linguistics, speech–language pathology, and audiology.
