Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book marks a major advance in the field of linguistics and can be considered a foundational text on the mechanics of speech. The author provides a complete scientific theory of speech, encompassing all the elements that combine to produce the sounds of human language. In this text, the author presents a refined theory of speech, first developed in an earlier work, to make the subject accessible to a wide range of readers. The scientific study of language, a field the author himself helped establish and advance, allows us to trace the evolution of language and decode the complex system that enables human speech. The author sought to create a companion text to his earlier work, Visible Speech, that would fully describe and explain the processes involved in speech. This book is the result and it achieves his goal, offering a detailed and systematic guide to the production of human speech sounds.
