Explains the complex manner in which the "human noises" we call speech are produced by the vocal organs, transmitted from mouth to ear & processed between ear & brain, which are the 3 stages which define the spheres of articulatory, acoustic & auditory phonetics. The reader is then introduced to the symbols used in the description & classification of speech sounds & shown how the latter are organised into patterns describable in terms of phonemens & other abstract concepts. Although this book takes most of its examples from English, the author devotes2 chapters to a comparative study of the varied sounds & vocal features of other languages & discusses the application of phonetics in the analysis & teaching of languages, in speech therapy and in the whole field of communications.
