Overview

Clinical Phonetics was written for readers who require phonetic knowledge and skills for clinical purposes in speech-language pathology. The text covers the basics of American English phonetics. It also focuses on clinical application with articulatory descriptions and speech samples from individuals with speech disorders or who use regional dialects.

The 5th Edition features insights from 2 new co-authors. It also offers more opportunities for clinical transcription, significantly updated content, and an improved organization to maximize clarity and ease of learning.
