Speech and Voice Science

Speech and Voice Science by Behrman, Alison, Ph.D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781597569354.

Though also a teacher and researchers, Behrman says this textbook for students of speech-language pathology grew mainly out of her clinical practice in that profession. She contends that the principles of physics and physiology lie at the heart of understanding speech and language problems and solutions to them. Among her topics are describing and explaining motion, sound waves, phonation: measurement and instrumentation, the production and perception of vowels and consonants, theories and models of speech production, and theories of speech perception.
