This volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of the key topics of the phonetic sciences. Contributions by many of the leading researchers in the field cover both theoretical and applied areas of speech communication.There are contributions on experimental phonetics, including aerodynamics of speech, speech signal processing, laboratory techniques and acoustic phonetics, as well as discussions of speech technology applications in areas such as automatic recognition of speech and speakers, and speech synthesis. Following are chapters on the biological foundations of speech and hearing, such as brain functions underlying speech, auditory neural processing, and articulatory processes in speech production.A section on theoretical approaches in phonetic sciences addresses aspects of spoken word recognition, coarticulation, articulatory/acoustic/auditory relationships and laryngeal function. The next section, linguistic phonetics, covers descriptive criteria in general phonetics and the relationship between phonetics and other areas of linguistics, such as phonology.
The final selection contains contributions on speech technology, ranging from speech signal processing to speech synthesis.The volume represents an unparalleled resource to students and specialists in linguistics, phonetics and psychology, speech and language therapists and speech technologists.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is an important book, which does much to make accessible the current state of knowledge in an increasingly significant discipline." Times Higher Education Supplement "The editors are to be congratulated on putting together a very useful book. They have selected topics that represent the wide-ranging interests of phoneticians, invited recognised experts to write on these topics, and coordinated the contributions so that the volume is a coherant whole. This book belongs on the shelf of any serious phonetician, and linguists in general should be aware that is it available to provide a source of recent informantion about most areas of phonetic research." Frances Ingemann, University of Kansas "The previous criticisms not withstanding, The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences is a most welcome and needed reference to this very active field. It should prove an invaluable aid to graduate students starting research projects, to active investigators who are planning to extend their research to a new area in the field, and as a general reference for professionals in the many areas that are now part of the broadly defined phonetic sciences. It will certainly not gather dust on this reviewers bookshelf." H. T Bunnell, University of Delaware
