From the rear cover
"With this second edition, the Handbook of Phonetics Sciences will continue to be an outstanding resource for students, providing wide-ranging critical overviews of the development of key scientific topics and of the debates which are at the heart of contemporary phonetic research." Gerard Docherty, Newcastle University
"This Handbook is an outstanding collection of state-of-the-art surveys and original contributions. Revised and refreshed, it is essential reading for anyone engaged in understanding phonetic aspects of speech. " John Local, University of York
Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences provides an authoritative account of the key topics in both theoretical and applied areas of speech communication, written by an international team of scholars and practitioners.
The Handbook is accessibly structured into five major sections covering: experimental phonetics; biological perspectives; modelling speech production and perception; linguistic phonetics; and speech technology. These sections have been reconceived and re-oriented to create a more streamlined and user-friendly reference tool, whilst keeping the essential features that made the first edition so comprehensive. All contributions have been revised in order to bring them up-to-date with the latest research, and nine entirely new chapters have been added on topics including phonetic notation and sociophonetics, speech technology, and biological perspectives, along with an expanded section on prosody. This new edition is an unparalleled resource for advanced students and specialists in the field.
