About this product

Product Information

This revised and expanded edition of a classic textbook provides a concise introduction to basic concepts of acoustics and digital speech processing that are important to linguists, phoneticians, and speech scientists. The second edition includes four new chapters that cover new experimental techniques in acoustic phonetics made possible by the use of computers. Assuming no background in physics or mathematics, Ladefoged explains concepts that must be understood in using modern laboratory techniques for acoustic analysis, including resonances of the vocal tract and the relation of formants to different cavities; digital speech processing and computer storage of sound waves; and Fourier analysis and Linear Predictive Coding, the equations used most frequently in the analysis of speech sounds. Incorporating recent developments in our knowledge of the nature of speech, Ladefoged also updates the original edition's discussion of the basic properties of sound waves; variations in loudness, pitch, and quality of speech sounds; wave analysis; and the hearing and production of speech. Like its predecessor, this edition of Elements of Acoustic Phonetics will serve as an invaluable textbook and reference for students and practitioners of linguistics and speech science, and for anyone who wants to understand the physics of speech.

Seller uses enormous permanent stickers that will not come off without ripping the cover!! What is the point of listing a book in good condition if you're going to put something on it that ruins the cover?? Ridiculous!!

We are very sorry the item did not meet your expectations. Using heat, such as with a hair dryer, will deactivate the adhesive on our stickers and allow them to come off cleanly.

I am disappointed in the quality. The binding is in very good shape as described. However, the portion of the description that I have included below about the Condition was very inaccurate. There is a LOT of highlighting in multiple colors throughout the first 2/3 to 3/4 of the book. Good: The majority of pages are undamaged with minimal creasing or tearing, minimal pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, no writing in margins.
