Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the phonetic patterns within words that are essential to the craft of writing. It posits that the sounds of speech carry semantic, descriptive, and imaginative potentials for writers. Through illustrated excerpts from classic texts, the author introduces audio-scriptics â" a set of techniques for writers to intentionally design the sounds within their written words. Drawing on disciplines including acoustics, engineering, and linguistics, the book presents experimental writing that demonstrates how intentional phonetic design can create compositions expressing feeling with sound images. It bridges the gap between the engineering and artistic mindsets, emphasizing how the physical properties of writing materials and mediums impact the descriptive, associative, and expressive powers of the author.
