This book is written for the beginning student of communication
disorders with a basic understanding of phonetics, or the
practising speech-language therapist whose phonetic training may
need updating. It introduces the reader to the main areas of
phonetics, and the main methods through which the phonetician
reduces speech data to a permanent record.
The book, then, illustrates the three main approaches to the
investigation of spoken language; articulatory, acoustic, and
auditory. Further, it describes how impressionistic phonetic
transcription through symbolisation differs from instrumental
phonetic techniques. For each of these areas of discussion,
chapters are provided that examine the general phonetic aspects,
followed by chapters that illustrate their application to clinical
data.
The authors are both phoneticians with experience of
investigating both normal and disordered speech through both
impressionistic and instrumental means, and this is the first book
in this market that describes a whole range of data reduction
techniques and illustrates them with data relevant to the student
and practitioner of communication disorders.
