Fundamentals of Phonetics

A Practical Guide for Students

Beschreibung

For courses in phonetics and linguistics for speech and hearing students (Communications Sciences and Disorders). A clear, systematic, easy-to-understand introduction to phonetics principles and transcription Fundamentals of Phonetics uses in-text exercises and supplemental audio recordings (available in the Enhanced Pearson eText) to teach the practical skills necessary to successfully perform phonetic transcription of individuals using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Students learn about the transcription of consonants and vowels, connected speech, and individuals with speech sound disorders. A chapter on speech acoustics introduces spectrograms and the acoustic characteristics of speech sounds. Students also learn how to transcribe individuals who display regional and ethnic dialectal variation of speech, including those who have learned to speak English as a second language. The 5th Edition is updated with current census data, new material on key concepts in phonetic transcription, and a new section on the application of speech acoustics in clinical practice. Pedagogical aids – including new chapter summaries, learning objectives, exercises, and artwork – help students learn, process, and practice the material. Also available with the Enhanced Pearson eText The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with audio practice exercises.
