Customer Reviews

Great price, great delivery, great product

I received my book w/in 2 days of the order, just in time to do the readings for class....I'm very happy, and will recommend!

Some inaccurate data

There is one major error in the text. Page 101 is wrong. I emailed the publishers but got no response. Be careful with some of the figures. Other than that, the book is great!

"Speech Science" the best primer is updated

This text has, for the past 10 years, been the best and most prestigious of introductory books in our field. It is a fine lead-in for students wondering how speech is constructed. A follow-on for the more advanced student is my "Acoustics of Speech Communication: Fundamentals, Speech Perception Theory and Technology" 1999, Allyn and Bacon. J.M. Pickett
