The Routledge Handbook of Phonetics (Paperback): William F. Katz, Peter F Assmann The Routledge Handbook of Phonetics (Paperback)
William F. Katz, Peter F Assmann
R1,456 Discovery Miles 14 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Vowel Inherent Spectral Change (Paperback, 2013 ed.): Geoffrey Stewart Morrison, Peter F Assmann Vowel Inherent Spectral Change (Paperback, 2013 ed.)
Geoffrey Stewart Morrison, Peter F Assmann
R5,333 Discovery Miles 53 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
