Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Speech
We are well aware that there are widely divergent points of View as to the. Nature of the beginning course in speech. Our position is that the course should be builded upon and compounded of the elements of speech itself. Its sub ject matter should differ essentially from that of courses in English composition, literature, psychology, logic, etc., although it may borrow terminology and technique from them. From its beginning course onward, a department of speech can and should sharply differentiate its function from that of all other departments. Only upon the validity of its claim to be a separate discipline can it maintain its right to an autonomous existence.

This book explores the nature and function of speech, a ubiquitous human phenomenon that enables social adaptation and control through reciprocal stimulation.

The book examines the intricate relationship between speech and thought, exploring the ways in which they are mutually dependent. The author provides a detailed analysis of the development of speech in individuals, from the earliest prelinguistic vocalizations to the acquisition of articulate language. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of speech in human life, arguing that it is the essential mechanism through which we adapt to our social environment and achieve our goals.
