Description

Phonetics: The Science of Speech by Ball and Rahilly is a comprehensive introduction that bridges anatomy and linguistics through detailed explanation of speech production. The textbook traces sound generation from anatomical initiation through laryngeal modification to final articulation of vowels and consonants in the oral and nasal tracts. Unlike many phonetics texts, this volume provides balanced coverage of both segmental features (individual speech sounds) and suprasegmental aspects (stress, intonation), demonstrating that effective communication requires mastery of both. The structured approach makes complex phonetic concepts accessible to students and professionals studying speech science, linguistics, or related fields seeking rigorous grounding in how humans produce spoken language.

Key Features

Ball and Rahilly's textbook covers the complete speech production chain from anatomical sound initiation through laryngeal modification to final articulation.

Balanced treatment of segmental phonetics (individual sounds) and suprasegmental features (stress, intonation, rhythm) for comprehensive speech understanding.

New, Mint Condition copy arrives in guaranteed protective packaging to ensure the book reaches you in perfect state.
