Description
The Physics of Speech by D. B. Fry is an in-depth exploration of the complex mechanisms involved in speech production and perception. The book takes readers through the various stages of the speech chain, from language units to sound waves, explaining the physical principles behind the generation and propagation of sound energy. Professor Fry's clear account covers topics such as the use of the sound spectrograph in acoustic analysis, the acoustic features of English sounds, and how we recognise speech sounds. This comprehensive textbook is suitable for courses on applied and theoretical linguistics, as well as for those working in departments of speech and communications. By understanding the physics of speech, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the intricate processes involved in language transmission and reception.
