Description
Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice is designed to serve as an introductory, one-term textbook for undergraduate phonetics courses in communication sciences and disorders. The text begins by introducing the fundamental tool of transcription the International Phonetic Alphabet while also presenting the science underlying that set of symbols. The goal of this text is to teach students how to think about the data being transcribed in other words, how to think like a phonetician.
Every chapter begins with Learning Objectives and an Applied Science problem and question a research- or clinical-based question that can be answered by applying the phonetic science concepts covered in that chapter. By the end of the chapter, students willrevisit the question and be asked to solve the problem posed. Students studying communication sciences and disorders and practicing speech-language pathologists or audiologists will be more successful in their clinical work if they understand the science thatunderlies the tool of transcription. In each chapter there are also several diverse clinical examples to review the application of concepts covered.
Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice covers exactly what students (and clinical speech-language pathologists and audiologists) need to know to be effective speech-language pathologists and audiologists in any setting where an understanding of speech soundsis needed.
Key Features:
Focused on practical, clinical application, and the information needed for clinical practice
A PluralPlus companion website that features sound files for IPA symbols and particular words
Did You Get It? comprehension checks on the material throughout each chapter

Reviews
The writing style is very readable, engaging, with lots of examples, illustrations/figures, and opportunities for review. The book and the workbook go together very well. The vocal tract pictures are great. I really like the Applied Science boxes, too excellent!

I love the applied component of each chapter and the exercises/activities to help put theory into practice. The visuals of pairing the vowels with a picture is genius!

The organization of this textbook is one of its major strengths. The authors did a tremendous job presenting the appropriate amount of information in a straight-forward way. The writing construction is clear, but very accessible to the novice and enticing to theexpert. One example of the way that the authors make this such a clear, but enjoyable text is the Did You Get It? review sections.The authors do a great job catching the audience's attention by introducing interesting facts. I commend the authors for presentingpotentially challenging and complex information in a clear and engaging manner. I was not sure what could be done to improve upon the existing textbooks for clinical phonetics. However, it is clear that the authors have identified a gap in this arena based uponclinical and academic experience.

I am really excited about this book. The material is presented in a very coherent manner. There is more phonetic detail (related to acoustic and linguistic phonetics) that provides the reader with a more comprehensive view of phonetics than other introductorymaterials that are available.

This text provides a much-needed look at phonetic science with a focus on the articulatory bases of speech. It values a multicultural perspective on speech production, while maintaining strong coverage of the basic phonetics and phonological structures relevant to General American English. The accompanying workbook is comprehensive, with many exercises having easy, intermediate, and challenging examples, and with most chapters containing a blend of clear right/wrong answers and generative questions whichmust be answered by the student creating their own response, in which case there may be many potentially correct answers. While written for an audience that is new to phonetics, it does not avoid many of the complexities inherent to the topic, including inter-personal differences in articulation, dialectical variability, and descriptions of non-English speech sounds that will be unfamiliar to most English speakers. Jakielski & Gildersleeve-Neumann's text and workbook show excellent promise as a leading candidate for a new set of core materials in the training of speech-language pathologists.
