Author: Elizabeth C. Zsiga
Abstract:

The fully updated, new edition of the bestselling introduction to
phonetics and phonology

The Sounds of Language presents a comprehensive introduction to both
the physical and cognitive aspects of speech sounds. Assuming no prior
knowledge of phonetics or phonology, this student-friendly textbook
clearly explains fundamental concepts and theories, describes key
phonetic and phonological phenomena, explores the history and
intersection of the two fields, offers practical advice on collecting
and reading data, and more.

Twenty-four concise chapters, written in non-technical language, are
organized into six sections that each focus on a particular
sub-discipline: Articulatory Phonetics, Acoustic Phonetics, Segmental
Phonology, Suprasegmental Phonology, the Phonology/Morphology
Interface, and Variation and Change. The book's flexible modular
approach allows instructors to easily choose, re-order, combine, or
skip sections to meet the needs of one- and two-semester courses of
varying levels. Now in its second edition, The Sounds of Language
contains updated references, new problem sets, new examples, and links
to new online material. The new edition features new chapters on
Lexical Phonology; Word Structure and Sound Structure; and Variation,
Probability, and Phonological Theory. Chapters on Sociolinguistic
Variation, Child Language Acquisition, and Adult Language Learning
have also been extensively updated and revised.

Offering uniquely broad and balanced coverage of the theory and
practice of two major branches of linguistics, The Sounds of Language:

Covers a wide range of topics in phonetics and phonology, from the
anatomy of the vocal tract to the cognitive processes behind the
comprehension of speech sounds
Features critical reviews of different approaches that have been used
to address phonetics and phonology problems
Integrates data on sociolinguistic variation, first language
acquisition, and second language learning
Surveys key phonological theories, common phonological processes, and
computational techniques for speech analysis
Contains numerous exercises and progressively challenging problem sets
that allow students to practice data analysis and hypothesis testing
Includes access to a companion website with additional exercises,
sound files, and other supporting resources
The Sounds of Language: An Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology,
Second Edition, remains the ideal textbook for undergraduate and
beginning graduate classes on phonology and phonetics, as well as
related courses in linguistics, applied linguistics, speech science,
language acquisition, and cognitive science programs.
