5.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfying, 16 Jan 2006
By A Customer
It was a joy to see very complicated concepts (e.g. LMS for LPC analysis) explained so simply and naturally. Close to no math prerequisites for this one, if that's your concern. If you do get lost, the author's crystal clear prose and explainations are going to come back and pick you up, and even if you miss a technicality, it doesn't matter because you will understand the big picture and the practical applications. (Which incidentally is exactly the opposite of what happened during my studies at University.)
This was my first book in this field and I found it very insightful. I'm coming from a theoretical background in DSP, and yet I wasn't bored at all by the step-by-step mathematical derivations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ladefoged finally found time to update his 1971 book, 13 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Elements of Acoustic Phonetics (Phoenix Books) (Paperback)
Major improvements are using the source-filter in place of spring resonance model and fine tutorials on digital speech processing. An excellent first text for the student phonetician. For more advanced students use my 1999 text. J.M. Pickett.
