Articulatory Phonetics, 2nd Edition - Ian Wilson, Bryan Gick, Donald Derrick

Provides a Clear, Engaging Introduction to the Physical Mechanisms of Human Speech Production The second edition of Articulatory Phonetics offers a fresh, expanded exploration of how the human body produces the sounds of speech. With dozens of new and updated illustrations, revised exercises, and the addition of an entirely new chapter on sensory systems, this edition reflects the latest scientific and theoretical advances in the study of speech production. Authors Bryan Gick, Donald Derrick, and Ian Wilson integrate recent discoveries on motor modularization, speech posture, and multimodal perception, providing readers with an up-to-date and engaging overview of the biomechanics of speaking. Maintaining the hallmark clarity of the first edition, Articulatory Phonetics continues to serve as a concise, non-technical introduction to the anatomy and physiology of speech—offering fresh insights into how sensory feedback guides articulatory movement. New original illustrations and accessible discussions demystify the complex interactions between the brain, muscles, and airflow that enable speech. Supported by online MRI-based visualizations and new downloadable exercises, this edition equips students and researchers to engage confidently with current approaches and experimental methods in articulatory phonetics. Setting a new standard for learning how bodily motion is transformed into the sounds of language, Articulatory Phonetics: Integrates the latest theoretical perspective
