Book Description
Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technical introduction to the physiological processes involved in producing sounds in human speech. Traces the path of the speech production system through to the point where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervous system, and muscles, respiration, and phonation Introduces more complex anatomical concepts of articulatory phonetics and particular sounds of human speech, including brain anatomy and coarticulation Explores the most current methodologies, measurement tools, and theories in the field Features chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of original illustrations which take the mystery out of the anatomy, physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speech research Includes a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics with additional exercises for each chapter and new, easy-to-understand images of the vocal tract and of measurement tools/data for articulatory phonetics teaching and research Password protected instructor’s material includes an answer key for the additional exercises

Pages : 456

Book Description
Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics teaches how to recognize, record, and reproduce the sounds of any language.Phonetics is the study of sounds. Specifically, it is the study of human speech sounds. A person who only speaks one language may not realize that there are hundreds of different consonants and vowels spoken by humans in different parts of the world. This book will introduce the reader to almost every sound spoken by man.Since the English alphabet is inadequate to represent every speech sound known to man, the reader will be taught the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This is a special alphabet containing numerous symbols that represent sounds for all languages. Charts are included in the back of this book that list many of the symbols used in the IPA. Some IPA symbols will look quite familiar, but others are from foreign languages or were invented specially for the IPA. Learning these symbols and their corresponding sounds is the foundation to accurately learning the sound system of a language.The reader should also be aware of the fact that not all linguists follow the IPA conventions. Though this book generally follows the standard IPA, alternative symbols and notations will be explained throughout the text.This book is intended for speakers of American English because many of the sounds are compared to the English language. Speakers of other dialects or languages may need to adjust their pronunciation accordingly.Table of Contents:Lesson 1: Introduction to SoundsLesson 2: Fricatives and VoicingLesson 3: Pitch VariationsLesson 4: Stops and Voice Onset TimeLesson 5: Facial DiagramsLesson 6: Progressive Pitch ControlLesson 7: Aspiration and Glottal StopsLesson 8: Advanced IntonationLesson 9: AffricatesLesson 10: Introduction to VowelsLesson 11: Characteristics of SyllablesLesson 12: Vowel GlidesLesson 13: Fronting, Retroflexion, and SibilantsLesson 14: Back VowelsLesson 15: NasalsLesson 16: Front VowelsLesson 17: LateralsLesson 18: Open Vowels and LengthLesson 19: Flaps and TrillsLesson 20: Central Vowels and ApproximantsLesson 21: Alveopalatal StopsLesson 22: Vowel and Glide ClustersLesson 23: Palatal and Uvular ConsonantsLesson 24: Nasalized VowelsLesson 25: Double Articulations and PrenasalizationLesson 26: Front Rounded and Back Unrounded VowelsLesson 27: Transition and ReleaseLesson 28: States of the GlottisLesson 29: ImplosivesLesson 30: Breathy Consonants and Consonant ClustersLesson 31: EjectivesLesson 32: Tongue Root PlacementLesson 33: Secondary ArticulationsLesson 34: Fortis and Lenis ArticulationLesson 35: ClicksLesson 36: Speech StylesAppendix

Applied Linguistics for Teachers of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners

Author: Erdogan, Nabat
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1522584684
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 529

Book Description
Irrespective of the language (first, second, or foreign) taught, knowledge of linguistics and its application is a must for language teachers. However, most TESOL programs use general linguistics textbooks that deal with the science of linguistics (as theory), disregarding its implications (practice) for teaching English language learners. Applied Linguistics for Teachers of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners is an essential scholarly publication that seeks to contribute to TESOL and language teacher education programs in order to assist educators to apply their knowledge to help linguistically and culturally diverse learners succeed in school and life. Highlighting an array of topics such as bilingualism, morphology, and sociolinguistics, this book is ideal for educators, educational programs, professionals, academicians, professors, linguists, and students.

The Sounds of Language

Author: Henry Rogers
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317877764

Languages : en
Pages : 365

Book Description
Phonetics is the scientific study of sounds used in language- how the sounds are produced, how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived. The Sounds of Language provides an accessible, general introduction to phonetics with a special emphasis on English. Focusing on the phonetics of English, the first section allows students to get an overall view of the subject. Two standard accents of English are presented- RP (Received Pronunciation), the standard accent of England, and GA (General American), the standard accent throughout much of North America. The discussion is arranged so that students can read only the RP or GA portions, if desired. Sixteen additional accents of English spoken around the world are also covered to provide students with wider international coverage. The author then moves on to introduce acoustics phonetics in an accessible manner for those without a science background. The last section of the book provides a detailed discussion of all aspects of speech with extensive examples from languages around the world. Containing student-friendly features such as extensive exercises for practising the sounds covered in each chapter; a glossary of technical terms; instructions on how to write phonetic symbols; the latest International Phonetic Alphabet chart and a detailed list of English consonantal variants, The Sounds of Language provides an excellent introduction to phonetics to students of linguistics and speech pathology and students of English as a second language.
