Index
Patricia Ashby is Principal Lecturer in Phonetics at the University of Westminster.
'This volume is an excellent introduction into the field of
phonetics. It presents an impressive account of the articulatory,
acoustic and perceptual aspects of human speech sounds. What makes
this book especially useful are the various exercises in the
chapters, and the addition of online audio materials to let readers
develop their practical skills with ear-training exercises'. Marc
Swerts, Professor of Communication and Information Sciences,
Tilburg University, The Netherlands
'the comprehensive content with clear explanations make[s] it a
tool that students can use with confidence. It is remarkable in its
potential to facilitate connections across the breadth of
phonetics, providing excellent foundations for the reader's future
career as a phonetician.'Times Higher Education
