This long-awaited work presents a theory of speech-sound generation in the human vocal system. The comprehensive acoustic theory serves as one basis for defining categories of speech sounds used to form distinctions between words in languages. The author begins with a review of the anatomy and physiology of speech production, then covers source mechanisms, the vocal tract as an...(展开全部)

This revised and expanded edition of the classic "Elements of Acoustic Phonetics" provides a concise introduction to basic concepts of acoustics and digital speech processing that are important to linguists, phoneticians, and speech scientists. The second edition includes four new chapters that cover new experimental techniques in acoustic phonetics made possible by the use of...(展开全部)

Explains the basic aspects of acoustics that are important for the study of speech. Six chapters of the 1962 edition are little changed, but the seventh is expanded to account for new insights into the nature of speech, such as resonances of the vocal tract and how formants are related to different cavities. New chapters explain how computers store sound waves, some basic aspec...(展开全部)
