Reviews

Lodge uses his practical classroom experience to provide safe guidance, and his theoretical perspective to provide a phonetically more accurate non-segmental foundation to phonetics. I particularly like the extensive introductions to continuous speech, prosody, resonance and segmentation, which will be of interest to phonologists and more advanced students of phonetics as well as beginners - Professor James M. Scobbie, Speech Science Research Centre, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, UK.

A Critical Introduction to Phonetics not only offers a thorough treatment of such aspects as articulation, transcription, and acoustics, but also stresses the fundamentally continuous nature of the speech stream. -- The Year's Work in English Studies, Volume 90"
