Throughout the world, there are phoneticians who have been influenced by the teaching, research, and writings of John Laver. Many have worked with him personally, and most of the contributors to this book are people with whom he has had special links or whose involvement represents an appreciation of the breadth of Laver's interests. While the book is meant to be a tribute to John Laver, the topics have been chosen to provide an overview of some key issues in phonetics, with illuminating contributions from some of the most influential academics in the field. Contributing to this festschrift are William Hardcastle, Janet Mackenzie Beck, Peter Ladefoged, John J. Ohala, F. Gibbon, Anne Cutler, Mirjam Broersma, Helen Fraser, Peter F. MacNeilage, Barbara L. Davis, R. E. Asher, E. L. Keane, G. J. Docherty, P. Foulkes, Janet Fletcher, Catherine Watson, John Local, Ailbhe Ni Chasaide, Christer Gobl, John H. Esling, Jimmy G. Harris, and Francis Nolan.
The book is designed as an introduction to the scientific study of
speech. No prior knowledge of phonetics is assumed. As far as
mathematical knowlege is concerned, all that is assumed is a
knowledge of simple arithmetic and as far as possible concepts are
dealt with on an intuitive rather than mathematical level. The
anatomical material is all fully explained and illustrated. The
book is arranged in four parts. Part 1, Basic Principles, provides
an introduction to established phonetic theory and to the
principles of phonetic analysis and description, including phonetic
transcription. Part 2, Acoustic Phonetics, considers the physical
nature of speech sounds as they pass through the air between
speaker and hearer. It includes sections on temporal measurement,
fundamental frequency, spectra and spectrograms. Part 3, Auditory
Phonetics, covers the anatomy of the ear and the perception of
loudness, pitch and quality. The final part, Part 4, covers the
articulatory production of speech, and shows how
experimentaltechniques and tools can enhance our understanding of
the complexities of speech production.
