Phonetics Workbook for Students A: Building a Foundation for Transcription (The Allyn & Bacon Communication Sciences and Disorders)

About this book

Understanding how sounds formand how sounds combine to create words is imperative to learning how to transcribe speech phonetically. Taking a "meta" approach A Phonetics Workbook for Students by Heidi Harbers prepares students to transcribe speech phonetically by helping them become aware of the sounds of English phonology. Following a systematic learning-friendly organization chapters progress from awareness of sounds to articulatory phonetics and IPA symbols to transcription. Unlike other workbooks its exercises are varied and challenging and develop both foundational and critical thinking skills. By teaching students how to develop both an ear and eye for phonetics the workbook provides a superior foundation from which transcription skills can develop.
