This comprehensive textbook offers a basic introduction to phonetics in an applied systematic presentation that equips the communication disorders student to deal with the wide range of speech types that will be encountered in a clinic. While the major discussion is articulatory, speech acoustics are also examined. Illustrations of sample spectrograms appear in tandem with the more traditional articulatory drawings. Two CDs of sound examples accompany the textbook. This comprehensive textbook offers a basic introduction to phonetics in an applied systematic presentation that equips the communication disorders student to deal with the wide range of speech types that will be encountered in a clinic. While the major discussion is articulatory, speech acoustics
"Phonetics for Communication Disorders is a tour de force. Drawing on their combined breath-taking expertise in the area, Professors Ball and Muller provide an account that solidly integrates the latest knowledge on the phonetics of disordered speech with clinically applied techniques for analysis. The text will initiate new students into core aspects of speech production and variation, but it is far from merely an introductory work. Phonetics for Communication Disorders is set to become one of those rare books which students of speech will retain, consult, and wholeheartedly trust throughout their subsequent professional careers." -Joan Rahilly Queen's University of Belfast, Ireland
