Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a fear of transcription? Are you daunted by the prospect of learning and handling unfamiliar symbols? This workbook is for students who are new to linguistics and phonetics, and offers a didactic approach to the study and transcription of the words, rhythm and intonation of English. It can be used independently or in class and covers all the pronunciation details of words, phrases, rhythm and intonation. Progress is deliberately gentle with plenty of explanations, examples and 'can't go wrong' exercises. In addition, there is an associated website with audio recordings of authentic speech, which provide back-up throughout. The audio clips also introduce students to variations in accents, with eleven different speakers. Going beyond the transcription of words, the book also ventures into real discourse with the simplification systems of colloquial English speech, rhythm and intonation.

Download or read book Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice Second Edition written by Kathy J. Jakielski and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice, Second Edition is designed to serve as an introductory, one-term textbook for undergraduate phonetics courses in communication sciences and disorders. The text introduces the fundamental tool of transcription, the International Phonetic Alphabet, while also presenting the science underlying that set of symbols. The goal of this text is to teach students how to think about the data being transcribed—in other words, how to think like a phonetician. Every chapter begins with learning objectives and an “Applied Science” feature, which presents a research- or clinical-based question that can be answered by applying the phonetic science concepts covered in that chapter. By the end of the chapter, students will revisit the question and be asked to solve the problem posed. Students studying communication sciences and disorders, practicing speech-language pathologists, and audiologists will be more successful in their clinical work if they understand the science that underlies the tool of transcription. Each chapter also offers several diverse clinical examples to review the application of concepts covered. Key Features * Focused on practical, clinical application and the information needed for clinical practice * “Did You Get It?” comprehension checks on the material throughout each chapter * “Applied Science” sections at the beginning and end each chapter to increase students’ curiosity about the topic of the chapter, concluding with real-world clinical solutions New to the Second Edition * Transcription readiness quiz (Chapter 1) with accompanying tutorials * New information about disordered speech and developmental speech errors that affect consonants (Chapter 7) and new section about developmental speech errors that affect vowels (Chapter 8) * 12 new audio case studies that students can use to practice transcribing errors in typical speech development * 12 new video case studies that students can use to practice transcribing disordered speech Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content such as study aids, flashcards, audio maps, and quizzes are not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Download or read book A Phonetics Workbook for Students written by Heidi M. Harbers and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how sounds form--and how sounds combine to create words-- is imperative to learning how to transcribe speech phonetically. "A Phonetics Workbook for Students "by Heidi Harbers prepares students to transcribe speech phonetically by helping them become aware of the sounds of English phonology. Following a systematic, learning-friendly organization, chapters progress from awareness of sounds, to articulatory phonetics and IPA symbols, to transcription. Unlike other workbooks, its exercises are varied and challenging and develop both foundational and critical thinking skills. Features: Unique "meta" approach keeps students actively involved as they get reacquainted with the sounds of the English language. Early emphasis on sound awareness lays the foundation for a more complete understanding of the English language and how to transcribe speech phonetically. Progressive organization sequences chapters in a learning-friendly format that transitions from awareness of sounds, to articulatory phonetics and IPA symbols, to transcription. Review and practice chapters (Chapters 4, 12, and 20) summarize key information from each unit and help students solidify concepts before learning more. Consonants presented by manner class (Chapters 14-19) provide an organizational framework to assist students in learning the similarities and differences between sounds. "Thoughts to Ponder" questions encourage readers to think about the English sound system and reflect upon its complexities. "Words of Advice" learning strategies model metacognition and assist students in becoming successful, self-directed learners. Extensive chapter exercises balance challenge and variety, while developing foundational and critical thinking skills. Specific exercises for practicing morphophonemic changes assist students in understanding the relationship between stress, morphemes, and phonemes (Chapter 21).

Download or read book Introductory Phonetics and Phonology written by Linda I. House and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in mastering any language requires knowledge in speaking, reading, and writing the language. The speaking component requires the understanding and use of correct pronunciation, emphasis, and syntactic patterns. The written component requires mastery of the alphabet, spelling, and the ability to write, print, or type the pattern. Very early in the learning process, speakers of the English language become keenly aware of the language's lack of sound to symbol correspondence. To help speech/language researchers, media personnel, individuals learning English as a second language, and others interested in correct pronunciation, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was devised. Extensively class tested, this book offers a practical understanding approach to phonetics and the IPA in a workbook format. It will be welcomed by professionals, students, and trainees in the fields of communication science, communication disorders, speech pathology, and linguistics.
