Description
A Practical Introduction to Phonetics by John Cunnison Catford is an interactive introduction to the study of phonetics. This unique text guides students through 124 introspective experiments that help them examine the entire range of human sounds. It systematically covers speech modification, articulation, and prosodic features, allowing readers to develop a deep understanding of phonetic analysis and classification. By actually articulating sounds and attending to the motor sensations they produce, readers acquire a personal awareness of the principles of phonetics. The second edition of this book features a new format and text design, updated phonetic symbols, and additional references to recent publications. This practical text is ideal for courses in introduction to phonetics and will be of interest to students and teachers of languages, linguistics, speech therapy, and anthropology. Informed by recent research in aerodynamics and acoustics, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the universal sound-producing potential of humans.
