It has very good exercises about how to learn pronouncing the IPA phonemes. One of its ideas is that you can learn this by yourself. Also, good tips about the phonemes. ( ) LIKE I SAID: Specialists should never write introductory textbooks to any subject. Unless they're specialists in writing introductory textbooks to any subject. "Practical introduction" indeed. LATER: Okay, he gets an extra .5 for this: "Note, in parenthesis, that all basic phonetic experiments must be done with firm, definite articulation and with a reasonably powerful initiation. There is little to be learned from indecisive fumbling articulation and feeble kitten-like mewings." LATER STILL: Okay, and this thing of classing fricatives, approximants (including vowels like [i]), and resonants (open vowels) is intriguing and probably makes more sense ultimately than Ladefoged's way of doing it. I guess this is why you shouldn't review a book before you're done reading it:) AND FINALLY: Oh, damn it. You know what this is? It's Ladefoged II, providing an alternative look at a lot of judgment calls he makes, but more importantly, expanding and breaking down a lot of his descriptions. All the stuff I've been thinking about with possible phonemic distinctions, it's basically all here. I just spend twenty minutes contorting my lips and sticking my fingers down my throat. Second only to A Course in Phonetics, this is (it turns out) a must-read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Catford's unique interactive approach to the study of phonetics leads readers to explore the entire range of human sounds through a series of introspective experiments carried out in their own vocal tracts, proceeding systematically from familiar vocal postures and articulations to new and unknown ones. By actually articulating sounds, and attending to the motor sensations they produce, the reader acquires a deep, personal understanding of the principles of phonetic classification. Informed throughout by recent research in aerodynamics and acoustics, this book will interest a wide range of students and teachers of languages, linguistics, speech therapy, and anthropology.
