Clinical Phonetics, Third Edition, is a comprehensive introduction to the art and science of clinical transcription.

The three primary strengths of Clinical Phonetics continue to be: a) authoritative coverage of the phonetics of American English, b) tested skills teaching in clinical transcription using four hours of audio examples, and c) discussion of a wealth of clinically-relevant topics throughout the text and numerous appendices.

For more than 20 years, Clinical Phonetics has been the text of choice for instructors who want their students to acquire both the academic content and the transcription skills required for responsible clinical decision making.

The third edition retains all of the materials that allow students to reach these objectives, and enhances content and format to make the learning experience even more accessible for instructors and students.

The new edition has been formatted in several ways to enhance learning, including a new text design and the availability of the training samples on audio compact discs.

  • Discusses multicultural issues in phonetic transcription.
  • Includes a concise review of phonetic transcription and phonetic analyses of infant vocalizations.
  • Presents information on transcription reliability from a clinical perspective.
  • Includes the PepperFont, a series of freely available fonts for the IBM environment providing instructors and students with a way to include phonetic characters (including optional diacritic characters) in electronic documents.

  • In addition to updated references and content throughout the text, a new appendix on dialects discusses origins and phonetic principles of dialects as well as their implications for phonetic transcription and includes audio examples of speakers with ethnic and regional dialects (Ch. 10).
  • Perfect binding provides a more compact workbook.
  • TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE—Companion Web site (www.ablongman.com/shriberg3e) contains the following:

    • Practice quizzes for each chapter.

    • In addition audio speech samples and transcription keys for additional practice with different types of speech disorders.

    • Audio CDs or Cassette Tapes (optional) are available for portable audio training.
