The book includes examples of the use of each phonetic symbol, as well as demonstrations of its application in nearly 30 language analyses.

Additionally, it covers speech sounds beyond the sound systems of languages and provides a listing of internationally agreed computer codings for phonetic symbols.

Whether you're a speech clinician, language teacher, or researcher, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of the IPA and its applications.
