Main description:

* Balances the two major methodologies used in clinical phonetics: impressionistic transcription and instrumental analysis. * Focuses on instrumental assessment and technological advances, which are not covered in sufficient depth in most current textbooks. * Includes not only articulatory/physiologic and acoustic phonetics, but also auditory (perceptual) aspects * Accompanied by video files for students and clinical professionals who want guided practice in the application of procedures with clinical populations.
