Reviews for Speech Sounds

'This is a very approachable introduction to the description and classification of the sounds of speech - not only the sounds of English, but all the various sound-types represented in the Chart of the International Phonetic Association. Dr Ashby's friendly style leads the reader through homophones and homographs, velars and alveolars, palatalization and nasalization, all with helpful practical examples and exercises. This book has rightly acquired a high reputation with teachers and learners of practical phonetics.' - John Wells, Professor of Phonetics, University College London, UK
