Abstract:

This articulatory phonetics course is designed especially for students whose
aim is to learn an unwritten language. It teaches how to pronounce and
transcribe virtually all the known sounds of the world’s languages. The
authors incorporate data from current research on a number of sounds,
including two recently documented sounds (the labial flap and the interdental
approximant). The McKinneys also provide fresh information on fortis-lenis
consonants based on research of the Nigerian language, Jju.

The majority of the book teaches the articulatory details of specific speech
sounds, but chapters also include acoustic phonetics, palatography, the
fascinating area of dialectal differences, and practical considerations for
conducting phonetic field work.

Anecdotes from the authors’ and others’ field experiences enliven the book.
Another strength is phonetic exercises given in each chapter and the
Appendices that cite data from many of the lesser-known languages of the
world.
An extensive Glossary and list of references help to not only review the basic
concepts, but also provide resources for the interested student to dig deeper.
About the Authors

Norris McKinney (Ph.D., University of Michigan) and Carol McKinney (Ph.D.,
Southern Methodist University) conducted fieldwork for over ten years while
living among the Bajju people of northern Nigeria. Both have taught
articulatory phonetics, and Norris also taught acoustic phonetics. He began
writing this book as an update on data taught in SIL phonetics courses. Norris
passed away before this book could be published, and Carol has brought this
work to completion on his behalf.
