The Routledge Handbook of Phonetics provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date compilation of research, history and techniques in
phonetics. With contributions from 41 prominent authors from North
America, Europe, Australia and Japan, and including over 130
figures to illustrate key points, this handbook covers all the most
important areas in the field, including: * the history and scope of
techniques used, including speech synthesis, vocal tract imaging
techniques, and obtaining information on under-researched languages
from language archives; * the physiological bases of speech and
hearing, including auditory, articulatory, and neural explanations
of hearing, speech, and language processes; * theories and models
of speech perception and production related to the processing of
consonants, vowels, prosody, tone, and intonation; * linguistic
phonetics, with discussions of the phonetics-phonology interface,
sound change, second language acquisition, sociophonetics, and
second language teaching research; * applications and extensions,
including phonetics and gender, clinical phonetics, and forensic
phonetics. The Routledge Handbook of Phonetics will be
indispensable reading for students and practitioners in the fields
of speech, language, linguistics and hearing sciences.
It has been traditional in phonetic research to characterize
monophthongs using a set of static formant frequencies, i.e.,
formant frequencies taken from a single time-point in the vowel or
averaged over the time-course of the vowel. However, over the last
twenty years a growing body of research has demonstrated that, at
least for a number of dialects of North American English, vowels
which are traditionally described as monophthongs often have
substantial spectral change. Vowel inherent spectral change has
been observed in speakers' productions, and has also been found to
have a substantial effect on listeners' perception. In terms of
acoustics, the traditional categorical distinction between
monophthongs and diphthongs can be replaced by a gradient
description of dynamic spectral patterns. This book includes
chapters addressing various aspects of vowel inherent spectral
change (VISC), including theoretical and experimental studies of
the perceptually relevant aspects of VISC, the relationship between
articulation (vocal-tract trajectories) and VISC, historical
changes related VISC, cross-dialect, cross-language, and
cross-age-group comparisons of VISC, the effects of VISC on
second-language speech learning, and the use of VISC in forensic
voice comparison.
