Synopsis
Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book provides an introductory account of topics covered in courses in phonology and phonetics. It gives attention to the fundamental of speech production as well as to phonological description and analysis. The early chapters describe the organs of speech, survey the wide variety of speech sounds that can be found in the world's languages, and explain basic principles of phonological organization. A separate chapter is devoted to the generative approach to phonology, and another to the acoustics of speech production, providing information that will prove useful as reference material. The phenomena of stress, tone and intonation are dealt with in a chapter on prosody, and several descriptive systems of speech components or features are also summarized and reviewed. The final chapter draws the book together by looking back over the theoretical issues that have been raised and by giving a historical survey of ways of thinking and talking about speech.

Review
"Informative, interesting and well written... an excellent general reference for students and scholars at a variety of levels." Language
From the Back Cover
Asssuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book offers a thorough introduction to phonetics and phonology. It is unusually comprehensive, including detailed attention to articulatory and acoustic phonetics as well as to the foundations of phonological analysis.
The second edition of this hughly successful textbook incorporates several improvements: a completely new chapter on speech perception has been added, the material on anaotomy and physiology has been rearranged and much of the detail placed later in the book to make it less demanding on readers, and the entire text has been edited to help bring it up to date.
