An Introduction to the Science of Phonetics by Nigel Hewlett
There are virtually no texts available that contain coverage of phonetics, speech acoustics, speech production, and hearing. The authors have designed courses in which they have taught these elements together. The audience for this book with figures, tables, and practice boxes with experiments will be mainly students in the Speech Sciences."The real strength of the present book is the meticulous account it gives of the articulation (and associated acoustics) of individual sounds--and not just of the obvious vowels and consonants, which have been presented a thousand times over, but of the unobvious ones, which many phonetics books never mention at all..This is the first account I have seen which devotes proper attention to the aim and range of that extension. It is an essential broadening of the scope of phonetics."
