'Informative, interesting and well written... an excellent general reference for students and scholars at a variety of levels' Language, reviewing the first edition Assuming 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 phonolgical analysis. The second edition of this highly successful textbook incorporates several improvements: a completely new chapter on speech perception has been added: the material on anatomy and physiology has been rearranged and much of the detail placed later in the book to made it less demanding on readers; further coverage has been given to the sounds of the world's languages; and the entire text has been edited to bring it up to date.
