Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics
Year: 2024
Type: book
Abstract: This book is a short and non-technical introduction (suitable as a supplementary resource for a course in general phonetics or speech science) covering four important topics in acoustic phonetics: 1) Acoustic characteristics of major classes of speech sounds; 2) Acoustic theory of speech production; 3) Auditory representation of speech; and 4) This book will be used by students in introductory courses on linguistic phonetics, speech and hearing sciences, and branches of electrical engineering and cognitive psychology. The first five chapters introduce the fundamentals of acoustics, the acoustic theory of speech production, digital signal processing, hearing, and speech perception, while the remaining four chapters study the major phonetic classes and review the acoustic characteristics of speech sounds according to the predictions of the acoustic theory of speech production, their auditory features, and their perceptual characteristics. At the end of each chapter, a list of suggested resources for further study is provided along with several exercises. The exercises, emphasizing the terms highlighted in bold in each chapter (and listed in the "Specialized Vocabulary" section), encourage the reader to apply the concepts discussed in the chapter.
