Opis

This book shows how phonetics in general and acoustic phonetics in particular can be used to diagnose different sorts of speech and voice disorders and suggests ways of remedy. It touches upon different matters ranging from such a general topic as the discussion on neuro-muscular activities involved in speech production to fairly specific topics dealing with the acoustic account of a disordered speech. Such a descriptive work is of interest and importance to people from different backgrounds such as Linguistics, Speech-Language Therapy/pathology, Experimental Phonetics and Applied Linguistics, inter alia.
