This textbook is a revision and expansion of A Manual for
Articulatory Phonetics, compiled by Rick Floyd in 1981 and revised
in 1986. It includes many other people's materials from
articulatory phonetics courses as taught for over sixty years in
the training schools of SIL International. It also includes much
information from sources outside of SIL. It is written in an
informal, personal style and is a practical book for teachers and
students alike. Most chapters begin with a statement of goals and
conclude with a list of key concepts and exercises. Examples,
tables, and explanatory figures are distributed liberally
throughout. This book is oriented primarily towards native speakers
of American English, particularly with reference to examples used
to guide pronunciation of new sounds. However, most of the
information included should be profitable to students regardless of
their native language. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is
used for the phonetic transcription, but the equivalent Americanist
symbols are also given in order to equip the student to use other
linguists' materials, regardless of which system they use to
transcribe their data. Anita Bickford (M.A., University of North
Dakota) specializes in second language acquisition and articulatory
phonetics and regularly teaches courses in both at the Summer
Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota.
