Book Overview

""The Organs of Speech: And Their Application in the Formation of Articulate Sounds"" is a comprehensive guide to the anatomy and physiology of the human vocal apparatus, written by Georg Hermann Von Meyer and originally published in 1883. The book explores the various organs involved in speech production, including the lungs, larynx, pharynx, tongue, and lips, and explains how they work together to produce the sounds of speech. The text is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of speech production. The first section provides a detailed overview of the anatomy and physiology of the vocal apparatus, while the second section delves into the mechanics of speech production, including the role of the diaphragm, the larynx, and the various muscles involved in articulation. The remaining sections of the book explore the different types of sounds produced by the human voice, including vowels, consonants, and diphthongs. The author provides detailed descriptions of each sound, including its physical properties and the specific movements of the vocal organs required to produce it. Overall, ""The Organs of Speech"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of speech production, including linguists, speech therapists, and voice coaches.
