This book presents the most contemporary and comprehensive
description of the acoustics of the sounds used in American
English. Intended to serve as an introductory text for students and
professionals interested in acoustic phonetics, linguistics,
physics, electrical engineering, and computer science, the authors
bring to the subject the points of view of both linguistics and
physics. The book uses numerous examples of acoustic spectrograms
to show the continuities and variability of natural speech. The
book begins by introducing the basic concepts of phonetics,
phonology, and linguistics to readers whose background is in
physics or engineering and introducing the physics of sound
generation and analysis for speech scientists and linguists. The
authors then use the tools developed in the first part to examine
the characteristics of individual phonemes as well as the changes
introduced when individual sounds are combined in speech. Modern
applications of speech acoustics, especially speech synthesis and
recognition, are also discussed.
