The Sounds of the World's Languages (Phonological Theory)

Rating:
Summary: Best book on phonology for acoustic phoneticians
Review: As a non-linguist, this is the best book on world languages for phonological questions and extra notes when you're writing an acoustic textbook. See the first few chapters of my "Acoustics of Speech Communication", 1999. Allyn & Bacon - - J.M. Pickett

Summary: Phoneticians...will be amply rewarded by this valuable book.
Review: Phoneticians, pronunciation editors of dictionaries, linguists, language teachers, and others who are-and ought to be-interested in and knowledgeable about the sounds of many languages and who have-and ought to have-sufficient background and training to understand the technical materials on which understanding of the text relies will be amply rewarded by this valuable book.
