Companion Website to
"Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice"

Welcome to Plural Publishing's companion website, intended to enhance your use of the text Phonetic Science for Clinical Practice by Kathy J. Jakielski and Christina E. Gildersleeve-Neumann.

About the Book


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.
