Product Description

Review
"Informative, interesting and well written... an excellent general reference for students and scholars at a variety of levels." Language

Product Description
Asssuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book offers a thorough introduction to phonetics and phonology. It is unusually comprehensive, including detailed attention to articulatory and acoustic phonetics as well as to the foundations of phonological analysis.

The second edition of this hughly successful textbook incorporates several improvements: a completely new chapter on speech perception has been added, the material on anaotomy and physiology has been rearranged and much of the detail placed later in the book to make it less demanding on readers, and the entire text has been edited to help bring it up to date.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative introduction, 3 April 2006
By Sergio Angel Verbo (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very good introduction to phonetics and phonology. The explanations are clear and straightforward.

The only real drawback is the way things are arranged. I have the feeling that what is important is not emphasized. Even though important concepts are in bold, I think that a paragraph should be devoted only to the introduction of a concept, instead of suddenly mentioning it and moving on to a wider explanation.

Thus, the reader must be careful for it is left for them to decide (and find out) what is important, to find the definition, etc. Somehow, I think that, even if it is an introduction, it is not for a beginner in linguistics.
