 An Introduction to General American Phonetics Third Edition
Charles Van Riper and Dorothy E. Smith
Since the first edition was published in
1954, this outstanding work has consistently served as a comprehensive yet
easy-to-follow guidebook to general American phonetics. Included are chapters
dealing with the transcription of on-going speech, narrow transcription, normal
and deviant allophones, and information on how speech sounds are produced, as
well as an examination of the linguistic principles that have come to play a
prominent role in modern speech pathology. The application of phonemics and
phonetics to the understanding of the problems of deviant speech and language,
foreign accent, and dialect enhance reader comprehension in these areas.
Numerous exercises and self-checking tests are provided to help readers gain
both practical experience and an accurate idea of their progress. The reading
passages and transcription material provided are attractive and designed to help
students facilitate their mastery of both. $31.95 list, 226 pages 10-digit ISBN: 0-88133-671-8 13-digit ISBN: 978-0-88133-671-9 © 1979 Instructor’s Manual available Table of Contents
