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.
