A Practical Introduction to Phonetics
"My favorite phonetics textbook--the most systematic account of articulation I know of."--Kenneth L. Miner,University of Kansas"Unquestionably the finest elementary text in phonetics to appear since Abercrombie'sElements of General Phoneticsand Ladefoged'sA Course in Phonetics."--Dale Woolley,University of Illinois at Chicago"Anyone without access to a good articulatory phonetician will find much in this volume, and those teaching will want to incorporate many of the exercises into their instruction."--Studies in Second Language Acquisition"A very welcome book by a distiguished phonetician. [Catford] couples his vast experience in fieldwork with his knowledge of the acoustics and physiology of speech to give clear guidance in the production of speech-sounds."--Arthur Abramson,University of Connecticut
