Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technicalintroduction to the physiological processes involved in producingsounds in human speech.
Traces the path of the speech production system through to thepoint where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervoussystem, and muscles, respiration, and phonation
Introduces more complex anatomical concepts of articulatoryphonetics and particular sounds of human speech, including brainanatomy and coarticulation
Explores the most current methodologies, measurement tools, andtheories in the field
Features chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of originalillustrations which take the mystery out of the anatomy,physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speechresearch
Includes a companion website atwww.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics with additional exercisesfor each chapter and new, easy-to-understand images of the vocaltract and of measurement tools/data for articulatory phoneticsteaching and research
Password protected instructor's material includes ananswer key for the additional exercises

"A rich yet approachable source of phonetic information, this new text is well structured, well designed, and full of original diagrams." (Expofairs, 25 November 2014)
"This book is the perfect companion for all students in phonetics, speech sciences and speech pathologies and complements Keith Johnson's Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics (3rd edition, 2011, Wiley-Blackwell) as introductory books to phonetic sciences." (International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 1 May 2013)
