The 20 articles in this book, four previously unpublished, have been taken from a wide variety of books and journals. As well as examining what makes one speaker's voice different from another's, they give an account of the different sorts of information (social, physical and psychological) about the speaker that are conveyed by the voice, and how voice pathology can be assessed scientifically. Two papers on the history of voice analysis from Cicero to the present are also included. Meticulous observation of speech and voice data are combined with an objective and reliable theory of speech production. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, using techniques from the life sciences, the communication sciences and the humanities.
