Book Methods in Clinical Phonetics

Download or read book Methods in Clinical Phonetics written by Martin J. Ball and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for the beginning student of communication disorders with a basic understanding of phonetics, or the practising speech-language therapist whose phonetic training may need updating. It introduces the reader to the main areas of phonetics, and the main methods through which the phonetician reduces speech data to a permanent record. The book, then, illustrates the three main approaches to the investigation of spoken language; articulatory, acoustic, and auditory. Further, it describes how impressionistic phonetic transcription through symbolisation differs from instrumental phonetic techniques. For each of these areas of discussion, chapters are provided that examine the general phonetic aspects, followed by chapters that illustrate their application to clinical data. The authors are both phoneticians with experience of investigating both normal and disordered speech through both impressionistic and instrumental means, and this is the first book in this market that describes a whole range of data reduction techniques and illustrates them with data relevant to the student and practitioner of communication disorders.

Book Advances in Clinical Phonetics

Download or read book Advances in Clinical Phonetics written by Martin J. Ball and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1996-10-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Clinical Phonetics focuses on important developments in phonetic description. Recent years have seen increasing developments in phonetic description, in both instrumental and impressionistic approaches. Not restricted to the phonetics of normal speech, clinical phoneticians and speech scientists working with disordered speech, have been at the forefront of recent work. Some instrumental developments (such as electropalatography), and some transcription developments (such as extIPA symbols), have been spearheaded by clinical phoneticians. The present collection describes and explores these developments. Part one consists of major accounts of advances in clinical phonetics contributed by major international researchers: Raymond D. Kent; William Hardcastle; Martin J. Ball and John Local; and Wolfram Ziegler and Erich Hartmann. The second part comprises six chapters where such advances are illustrated in the context of specific case studies, by authors from America and Europe: Fiona Gibbon, William Hardcastle, Hilary Dent and Fiona Nixon; Marie-Thèrése Le Normand and Claude Chevrie-Muller; Kate Moore and Anna-Maja Korpijaakko-Huuhka; Martin J. Ball and Joan Rahilly; P. Dejonckere and G. Wieneke; Nigel Hewlett, Nicola Topham and Catherine McMullen; and Shaween Awan. Demonstrating the wideranging and lively nature of the field of clinical phonetics the current contributions offer building blocks for further developments in phonetic description — both improvements in instrumentation and refinements in impressionistic transcription, leading to an increase in our understanding of the speech production process, both in normal and atypical speakers.

Book Instrumental Studies in Arabic Phonetics

Download or read book Instrumental Studies in Arabic Phonetics written by Zeki Majeed Hassan and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brought together in this volume are fourteen studies using a range of modern instrumental methods – acoustic and articulatory – to investigate the phonetics of several North African and Middle Eastern varieties of Arabic. Topics covered include syllable structure, quantity, assimilation, guttural and emphatic consonants and their pharyngeal and laryngeal mechanisms, intonation, and language acquisition. In addition to presenting new data and new descriptions and interpretations, a key aim of the volume is to demonstrate the depth of objective analysis that instrumental methods can enable researchers to achieve. A special feature of many chapters is the use of more than one type of instrumentation to give different perspectives on phonetic properties of Arabic speech which have fascinated scholars since medieval times. The volume will be of interest to phoneticians, phonologists and Arabic dialectologists, and provides a link between traditional qualitative accounts of spoken Arabic and modern quantitative methods of instrumental phonetic analysis.

Gitterman, The City University of New York Research Methods in Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics introduces a wide range of research philosophies, methods, and tools used across linguistics, phonetics, and speech science, as applied to disordered speech and language. Comprised of sixteen chapters, each authored by specialists representing a variety of approaches, the volume addresses core topics for students `undertaking their own research, including: experimental and quasi-experimental methods qualitative methods, including ethnography and conversation analysis sociolinguistics corpus construction and analysis data recording, transcription, and digital analysis of speech In addition to exploring these and other topics, the volume considers the research ethics associated with working with those who have speech or other communication difficulties. There is a detailed discussion of the dissemination of research results in the form of theses, dissertations, and journal articles, and of the peer review process. Chapters include summary boxes to highlight salient information, and resources for researchers such as relevant web archives and tools. It offers students and researchers from a variety of entry points – such as linguistics, education, psychology, and speech pathology – an introduction to the scope of research in clinical linguistics and phonetics, and a practical guide to this interdisciplinary field.

Book The Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics written by Rachael-Anne Knight and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phonetics - the study and classification of speech sounds - is a major sub-discipline of linguistics. Bringing together a team of internationally renowned phoneticians, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent, cutting-edge work in the field, and focuses on the most widely-debated contemporary issues. Chapters are divided into five thematic areas: segmental production, prosodic production, measuring speech, audition and perception, and applications of phonetics. Each chapter presents an historical overview of the area, along with critical issues, current research and advice on the best practice for teaching phonetics to undergraduates. It brings together global perspectives, and includes examples from a wide range of languages, allowing readers to extend their knowledge beyond English. By providing both state-of-the-art research information, and an appreciation of how it can be shared with students, this handbook is essential both for academic phoneticians, and anyone with an interest in this exciting, rapidly developing field.

Book Handbook of Vowels and Vowel Disorders

Download or read book Handbook of Vowels and Vowel Disorders written by Karen Pollock and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the general study of speech and phonetics, vowels have stood in second place to consonants. But what vowels are, how they differ from one another, how they vary among speakers, and how they are subject to disorder, are questions that require a closer examination. This Handbook presents a comprehensive, cogent, and up-to-date analysis of the vowel, including its typical development in children's speech, description by perceptual and instrumental methods, cross-linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects, and disorders of its production and use. It approaches the problems of vowel production and perception from the viewpoints of physiology, physics, psychology, linguistics, phonetics, phonology, and speech-language pathology. The chapters are logically complementary, and the major sections of the book are like key dimensions of understanding, each adding a perspective and base of knowledge on vowels. The sum total of the chapters is a synthesis of information on vowels that has no precedent.

Book Phonetics

Download or read book Phonetics written by Martin J Ball and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their comprehensive new introduction to phonetics, Ball and Rahilly offer a detailed explanation of the process of speech production, from the anatomical initiation of sounds and their modification in the larynx, through to the final articulation of vowels and consonants in the oral and nasal tracts. This textbook is one of the few to give a balanced account of segmental and suprasegmental aspects of speech, showing clearly that the communication chain is incomplete without accurate production of both individual speech sounds (segmental features) and aspects such as stress and intonation (suprasegmental features). Throughout the book the authors provide advice on transcription, primarily using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Students are expertly guided from basic attempts to record speech sounds on paper, to more refined accounts of phonetic detail in speech. The authors go on to explain acoustic phonetics in a manner accessible both to new students in phonetics, and to those who wish to advance their knowledge of key pursuits in the area, including the sound spectrograph. They describe how speech waves can be measured, as well as considering how they are heard and decoded by listeners, discussing both physiological and neurological aspects of hearing and examining the methods of psychoacoustic experimentation. A range of instrumentation for studying speech production is also presented. The next link is acoustic phonetics, the study of speech transmission. Here the authors introduce the basic concepts of sound acoustics and the instrumentation used to analyse the characteristics of speech waves. Finally, the chain is completed by examining auditory phonetics, and providing a fascinating psychoacoustic experimentation, used to determine what parts of the speech signal are most crucial for listener understanding. The book concludes with a comprehensive survey and description of modern phonetic instrumentation, from the sound spectrograph to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Book Handbook of Clinical Linguistics

Download or read book Handbook of Clinical Linguistics written by Martin J. Ball and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2025-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first edition of this Handbook was published in 2011, and the fields of clinical linguistics and clinical phonetics have developed considerably since that volume was prepared. Partly, this can be seen in the fact that this new edition has four more chapters and an extra Part than the first edition. But, more importantly, the chapters themselves record important advances in their respective areas. We were fortunate that many of the scholars who contributed to the first edition were available to update their chapters. In some cases, however, both for new chapters and where the original author was unavailable, we have recruited new contributors. The editorial team, too, has changed. Two of the original editors were not free to work on the new edition (though are still co-authors of chapters in this collection) but the new team is balanced both in terms of areas of expertise and geographical areas. Part 1 (Pragmatics, Discourse, and Sociolinguistics) has two more chapters in this edition compared to the first. Multimodal analysis of interaction - an area of recent interest in our field - has been added to this Part; also, the important topic of corpus linguistics as applied to clinical corpora is covered. Both these new chapters are authored by leading scholars in their subjects. Of the remaining chapters in Part 1, three have brand new author teams and most of the remainder have strengthened their teams with additional scholars. Part 2 (Syntax and Semantics) has ten chapters, that is, one more than the first edition. The new chapter deals with disruptions to language in the sign modality, a welcome addition to the topics covered in this part of the book. Six of the other chapters have been updated by the authors of the equivalent chapters in the first addition (some with added co-contributors), while three have new authorial teams. The original part 3 (Phonetics and Phonology) has undergone the greatest transformation. In the first edition, chapters dealing mostly with phonology were intermingled with those better classed as phonetics. For this new edition the editors decided to separate the two subject fields, at least partly due to a recognition that phonetics (unlike phonology) falls outwith the discipline of linguistics. Part 3 of this new edition, therefore, contains chapters dealing with a variety of phonological topics. Of the eleven chapters in this part, five are new and cover clinical phonology and the assessment of phonology, phonological development, and cross-linguistic aspects. One chapter from the first edition has been rewritten by a new team, and the remaining five have been updated by the original authors (some with new co-authors). Part 4 (Phonetics) contains ten chapters. A reorganization of topics since the first edition now sees three chapters dealing with instrumental analysis of speech, with the remaining topics similar to those included previously. Two of the three instrumental chapters have new author teams, with the third adding a new co-author. Three of the other chapters also have new authors, with the remaining four being written by the original authors often with new co-authors added. The Editors are proud of the Handbook's diversity, in particular, different clinical contexts, a variety of theoretical frameworks, and a range of scholarly traditions. Further, the contributors are from a number of different countries and work with numerous languages; they are from both clinical and non-clinical backgrounds and include linguists, phoneticians, speech-language pathologists and psychologists. This diversity reflects the multifarious nature of clinical linguistics and communication rehabilitation. We are confident that this updated and expanded Handbook will be a valuable resource for clinicians, phoneticians, and linguists interested in looking at research in all parts of subject, reviewed and presented by the leading scholars of their areas"--
