La fonètica és una disciplina canviant, que s’ha anat adaptant a les necessitats de la societat contemporània, que ha sabut beneficiar-se dels darrers avenços tecnològics i que a hores d’ara té múltiples aplicacions, no solament en l’àmbit de la investigació i la docència, sinó també en el de la vida diària. La fonètica ha esdevingut un camp d’estudi essencial en diferents àrees de la lingüística, com ara la dialectologia, la sociolingüística, l’adquisició del llenguatge, l’anàlisi del discurs, l’aprenentatge de segones llengües i la correcció fonètica, i, també, en àmbits professionals diversos, com l’assessorament lingüístic, la logopèdia, les tecnologies de la parla, la fonètica forense, etc. Atenent aquest context, el volum es proposa reflexionar sobre la fonètica i sobre algunes de les aplicacions d’aquesta disciplina en la societat actual.

It seems as if the fundamentals of how we produce vowels and how they are acoustically represented have been clarified: we phonate and articulate. Using our vocal chords, we produce a vocal sound or noise which is then shaped into a specific vowel sound by the resonances of the pharyngeal, oral, and nasal cavities, that is, the vocal tract. Accordingly, the acoustic description of vowels relates to vowel-specific patterns of relative energy maxima in the sound spectra, known as patterns of formants. The intellectual and empirical reasoning presented in this treatise, however, gives rise to scepticism with respect to this understanding of the sound of the vowel. The reflections and materials presented provide reason to argue that, up to now, a comprehensible theory of the acoustics of the voice and of voiced speech sounds is lacking, and consequently, no satisfying understanding of vowels as an achievement and particular formal accomplishment of the voice exists. Thus, the question of the acoustics of the vowel--and with it the question of the acoustics of the voice itself--proves to be an unresolved fundamental problem.

Descriptive and Theoretical Approaches to African Linguistics contains a selection of revised and peer-reviewed papers from the 49th Annual Conference on African Linguistics, held at Michigan State University in 2018. The contributions from both students and more senior scholars, based in North America, Africa and other parts of the world, provide a glimpse of the breadth and quality of current research in African linguistics from both descriptive and theoretical perspectives. Fields of interest range from phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics to sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, discourse analysis, language documentation, computational linguistics and beyond. The articles reflect both the typological and genetic diversity of languages in Africa and the wide range of research areas covered by presenters at ACAL conferences.

"Designed for students with only a basic knowledge of linguistics, this leading textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonology, the study of sound patterns in language. It teaches in a step-by-step fashion the logical techniques of phonological analysis and the fundamental theories that underpin it. This thoroughly revised and updated edition teaches students how to analyze phonological data, how to think critically about data, how to formulate rules and hypotheses, and how to test them. New to this edition: [bullet] Improved examples, over 60 exercises and 14 new problem sets from a wide variety of languages encourage students to practise their own analysis of phonological processes and patterns [bullet] A new and updated reference list of phonetic symbols and an updated transcription system, making data more accessible to students [bullet] Additional online material includes pedagogical suggestions and password-protected answer keys for instructors"--
