Product Description
This volume provides an introduction to phonetics and speech science courses. The first chapters introduce basic acoustics, audition, digital signal processing and the source filter theory of speech production, while the later chapters survey the major classes of speech sounds describing in detail their acoustic and auditory properties. Students in linguistic phonetics and speech science should find the book a useful introduction to some of the more technical aspects of computer speech analysis which are assumed in modern instrumental studies of speech, distinctive feature theory, and the acoustic characterization of speech pathology. The book should also be of use to psychologists and engineers who study speech perception and automatic speech recognition.

Excellent Introductory Text to Acoustic & Auditory Phonetics, 2000-05-29
Johnson's text fills a lacuna in Phonetics primers by introducing the fundamentals of acoustics in terms that students new to phonetics can grasp.Johnson intersperses fairly complex issues with practical applications of the concepts making the text approachable. These practical applications often can be translated into classroom exercises and are occasionally humorous. I found the explanation of waves, harmonics, and formants particularly clear and helpful. The segue from acoustics to auditory phonetics is seamless. Adding this text to the reading list of my intro to phonetics class (undergrad) reaped pleasant rewards. This text is appropriate for undergraduate or graduate students with limited exposure to acoustic and auditory phonetics, but is useful for even seasoned phoneticians.
Excellent Introduction to the Subject!!!!, 1999-10-04
This has to be one of the best texts on phonetics I've ever encountered. Dr. Johnson takes some very difficult concepts in accoustic theory and makes them accessible to the beginning student.
