“Life has just become less lonely for Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics.  Gick, Wilson & Derrick have given us a marvelous addition to the classroom, providing an authoritative description of speech articulation, an insightful and balanced guide to the theory of cognitive control of speech, and a highly readable introduction to the methods used in articulatory phonetics.  All students of phonetics should study this book!” - Keith Johnson, University of California, Berkeley

Articulatory Phonetics presents a concise and non-technical introduction to the physiological processes involved in producing sounds in human speech. With a primary focus on the basic anatomy and physiology of speech and how different kinds of speech sounds are made, the text serves as an ideal guide through this burgeoning area of research.

The authors trace the path of the speech production system through to the point where simple vocal sounds are produced, covering the nervous system, muscles, respiration, and phonation. Subsequent chapters continue through the supralaryngeal system with focus on particular sounds of human speech, and introduce some of the more complex anatomical concepts of articulatory phonetics, including coarticulation and articulatory conflict. The most current methodologies, measurement tools, and theories are also addressed. Chapter-by-chapter exercises and a series of original illustrations take the mystery out of the anatomy, physiology, and measurement techniques relevant to speech research.

A companion website at www.wiley.com/go/articulatoryphonetics includes exercises for each chapter, images including traces of MRI data  and an answer key. Articulatory Phonetics offers non-specialists illuminating insights into this fast-growing field of phonetics.
