Reviews

Advance praise: 'An excellent resource for students interested in studying phonetic science. It provides an accessible introduction to key topics in the discipline and also functions as an authoritative point of reference for more complex topics in phonetic analysis.' Damien Mooney, University of Bristol Advance praise: 'Excellent and very well structured ... it manages the art of introducing articulatory, acoustic phonetics, and speech perception, in a comprehensive and in-depth yet highly accessible manner.' Ocke-Schwen Bohn, Aarhus Universiteit, Denmark Advance praise: 'A comprehensive and clear introduction to phonetics ... it is impressively broad and up to date - particularly in its coverage of instrumental techniques for analyzing articulatory aspects of speech production.' Matthew Gordon, University of California, Santa Barbara Advance praise: 'This is an excellent, comprehensive overview to the field of phonetics. It provides clear introductions to each subfield of phonetics, including digital signal processing and hearing, and offers a solid background to the study of phonetics.'

Her doctoral research on acoustic and perceptual investigation of breathy and clear phonation in Khmer (Cambodian) spoken in Thailand was sponsored by a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Abroad grant. She was an National Institutes of Health (NIH) post-doctoral fellow at the biocommunication laboratory, University of Alabama, conducting research focusing on second language speech learning. She has published extensively on phonetics of various languages, particularly on cross-language perception and production of lexical tones. Her work was supported by grants from the NIH.
