This work presents a new stance on the presentation of basic
phonetic skills for students of linguistics, using examples drawn
from a wide-range of languages. "Continuum Critical Introductions
to Linguistics" present core areas of linguistics from refreshing
new perspectives. This book takes a new stance phonetics and will
interest students of linguistics. Using examples drawn from a
wide-range of languages Ken Lodge introduces the key aspects of
phonetics, examining the difference between speech and writing, the
physiology of speech production, basic and detailed articulation,
and acoustic phonetics. The book contains a practical guide to
transcriptions from sound recordings, and a section on applications
of phonetics to fields of study such as language variation and
accent."A Critical Introduction to Phonetics" provides
comprehensive coverage of all the key areas of the subject, and
contains chapter summaries to help the reader navigate the text.
Critical thinking is prompted throughout, and this will be
essential reading for students on introductory phonetics courses
both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. "Continuum Critical
Introductions to Linguistics" are comprehensive introductions to
core areas in linguistics. The introductions are original and
approach the subject from unique and different perspectives. Using
contemporary examples and analogies, these books seek to explain
complicated issues in an accessible way. The books prompt critical
thinking about each core area, and are a radical departure from
traditional, staid introductions to the subject. Written by key
academics in each field who are not afraid to be controversial,
each book will be essential reading for undergraduate students.
