The Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics

The Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics is a comprehensive guide to the study of speech sounds. It explores how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived in human languages. The book covers various aspects, such as articulatory processes (how we create sounds), acoustic properties (sound waves), and auditory perception (how we hear). It also examines phonetic variation across languages and speech disorders. Designed for students and researchers, it provides detailed explanations and current research, making complex concepts accessible while maintaining scientific depth to advance understanding of the fundamental sounds that make up spoken language.
