Description
A Field Manual of Acoustic Phonetics by Joan L. G. Baart provides a practical introduction to acoustic speech analysis, essential for those involved in linguistic analysis and description. This comprehensive guide explains commonly used methods for displaying aspects of a speech wave, including waveform graphs, spectra, spectrograms, and more. The book illustrates how the results of acoustic analysis can be interpreted and used to improve the objectivity, accuracy, and precision of phonetic descriptions of speech sounds. It assumes basic knowledge of articulatory phonetics and is suitable for teaching introductory courses in acoustic phonetics at the undergraduate level. With its clear explanations and practical applications, this manual is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand and analyze speech patterns.
