Abstract:

Written in a lively style, Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind applies a 
scientific approach to the study of various aspects of speech, using everyday 
examples to introduce the beginning student to the world of language and 
cognition.

* An accessible introduction to the fundamentals of speech production, 
speech perception, word-formation, language acquisition and speech 
disorders

* Considers how the informational content of the speech signal relates to 
phonological units - connecting the three areas of speech, words, and mind

* Focuses on speech production and recognition at the word-level and below, 
and includes sign languages

* Written in a highly accessible style for students with no background in 
linguistics or psychology

* Packed with numerous student-friendly features, including engaging 
examples, illustrations, and sidebars for further discussion; further online 
exercises and data also available at www.discoveringspeech.wiley.com
