Description
Summary:Rather, its introductory section presents sound classications, describing articulatory and acoustic characteristics of each class as one unit. [...]the relationship between the articulatory gestures and the resultant acoustic signal is made both clear and relevant. [...]the variability of sound production within and between speakers, and the relative nature of phonetics, is stressed throughout. [...]it is less explanatory and reads more like a series of detailed descriptions. [...]I found this text readable and comprehensible.
