【簡介】A Critical Introduction to Phonetics presents core areas of the field from refreshing new perspectives.

This book contains a practical guide to transcriptions from sound recordings, and a section on applications of phonetics to fields of study such as language variation and accent. A Critical Introduction to Phonetics provides comprehensive coverage of all the key areas of the subject and contains chapter summaries to help the reader navigate the text. Critical thinking is prompted throughout, and the book is essential reading for students on introductory phonetics courses―both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
