A Little Encyclopaedia of Phonetics
نویسنده
چکیده
This book is aimed at first-year students of Phonetics. It is based on a book I wrote which was published in 1992. The book, which had the title Introducing Phonetics, has now been deleted from the publisher's list. The title was misleading: this is not an introduction to Phonetics but a series of short explanations of technical terms used in the subject. I have, in fact, written what I hope is a truly introductory textbook on Phonetics for Oxford University Press in the series Oxford Introductions to Language Study, edited by Henry Widdowson, which was published in 2001. Its title is Phonetics.

متن کاملThe Phonetics - Phonology Interface : Comments on Clements & Osu , Sole , Frota , and
Research in how phonology relates to phonetics has followed diverse lines, and the papers in this section illustrate three of the different paths that have been taken. The contributions of Sole and of Chitoran and her colleagues follow a classic route, showing how many phonological phenomena can be better understood by attributing them to phonetic causes, and studying those causes with sophisti...
