The Production of Correct Speech Sounds: A Practical Text on Phonetics

Excerpt from The Production of Correct Speech Sounds: A Practical d104 on Phonetics

This book is, in the main, based upon 'a revision and organization of the lectures, notes and exercises which the writer has been developing during the past ten years for use in classes for speech improvement. The matter to be included and, what is equally important, to be ex cluded has been determined by the problems presented and the results observed in these classes, which were attended by young people of high school and college'age from many parts of the world.

Of the texts already available for work of this general character, some are adapted, by reason of extreme sim plicity of treatment, to younger pupils and different speech situations. Others, because of their elaborateness of de tail, or technical method of treatment, are not well fitted to the meager phonetic equipment of the type of students under consideration. Still others give only incidental treatment to speech sounds and their associated faults. The present volume may help in attacking the difficulties which the above types of text are not designed to meet.
