Product Description

Review

“A key general–reference text, which assumes no prior knowledge. In this edition, emphasis is placed on acoustic phonetics and phonological analysis, and it incorporates new material on developments in speech production studies, prosody, optimality theory in phonology, L1 and L2 acquisition and sociolectal variation.” Times Higher Education Supplement

“The third edition of An Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology is a welcome update to an introductory volume which for many years has informed and challenged students in equal measures, and will clearly continue to do so.”
Gerry Docherty, University of Newcastle upon Tyne

Format:Paperback
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.
