Clinical Phonetics (4th Edition) (The Allyn & Bacon Communication Sciences And Disorders Series) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
A comprehensive introduction to the art and science of clinical transcription. Clinical Phonetics was written with the belief that the clinical application of phonetics is a specialized branch of the field that requires a particular sensitivity to the challenge of transcribing speech disorders. The three primary strengths of the fourth edition of this text continue to be: authoritative coverage of the phonetics of American English, tested skills teaching in clinical transcription using four hours of audio examples (CDs sold separately), and the discussion of a wealth of clinically-relevant topics throughout the text and numerous appendices. Other notable features of the book are its broad coverage of phonetics, including an overview of the anatomy of speech production; phonetic symbols for consonants, vowels and diphthongs; diacritics for narrow transcription; representing suprasegmentals such as stress pattern; acoustic properties of speech; and dialect. This newly revised edition of Clinical Phonetics preserves the strengths of the earlier editions but offers significant improvements in content and style.

While I realize that I am a beginner in the study of Phonetics, I found this book to over-complicate things. My instructor would state things much more simply, and I found this book only to be confusing. Perhaps that will change once I know more about Phonetics, but I would not recommend this book to someone who is just starting out.
I found it to be very comprehensive and it provided adequate detail. It was easy to read. Positive feedback from students in the class.
This is one of the most clearly written textbooks I have come across. Easy to get to the topics you need to find inside, too.
Great read, but it was a bad idea to have pages that are perforated for tearing at the seams. You have to be extra delicate.
I received the book in brand new condition. Shipping was fast as well. It's a great reference book for phonetics courses. I don't have the greatest professor so this book is a life saver!
Helpful reference book and I definitely find myself referring back to it when dealing with transcription
This book was written in a clear and helpful manner.
