Description
Phonetics and Speech Science by Ian R. A. MacKay is an accessible introduction to the fundamental building block of linguistics and communication disorders. This comprehensive textbook fills the gap between introductory texts and more specialized works, providing a clear overview of phonetics that delves into its scientific aspects. The book focuses on the anatomy and physiology of speech, explaining the basics of phonetics, such as the phonemes of English, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and phonetic transcription systems. It presents the sounds of speech as elements of linguistic structure and as the result of complex biological mechanics, using clear language to explain complicated terminology. With examples from a range of languages, including disorders of speech and language learning, this textbook provides a solid foundation for understanding phonetics and its applications in various fields.
