Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technicalintroduction to the physiological processes involved in producingsounds in human speech.

• Traces the path of the speech production system through to thepoint where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervoussystem, and muscles, respiration, and phonation
• Introduces more complex anatomical concepts of articulatoryphonetics and particular sounds of human speech, including brainanatomy and coarticulation
• Explores the most current methodologies, measurement tools, andtheories in the field
• Features chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of originalillustrations which take the mystery out of the anatomy,physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speechresearch
• Includes a companion website atwww.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics with additional exercisesfor each chapter and new, easy-to-understand images of the vocaltract and of measurement tools/data for articulatory phoneticsteaching and research
• Password protected instructor’s material includes ananswer key for the additional exercises

Recensione:

Life has just become less lonely for Acoustic andAuditory Phonetics.  Gick, Wilson & Derrick have given usa marvelous addition to the classroom, providing an authoritativedescription of speech articulation, an insightful and balancedguide to the theory of cognitive control of speech, and a highlyreadable introduction to the methods used in articulatoryphonetics.  All students of phonetics should study thisbook! – Keith Johnson, University of California,Berkeley

Gick, Wilson, and Derrick offer an engaging,comprehensive introduction to how articulation works and how it isinvestigated in the laboratory.  This textbook fills animportant gap in our training of phoneticians and speechscientists. – Patrice Beddor, University ofMichigan

A rich yet approachable source of phonetic information,this new text is well structured, well designed, and full oforiginal diagrams. – James Scobbie, Queen MargaretUniversity
