Industry Reviews

"In conclusion, the second edition of 'The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences' is an invaluable reference. The clarity of its explanations, its accurate and updated review of theories and methods, and its analysis of both the strengths and weaknesses of each tool at the disposal of researchers will all be of great help to scholars involved in various degrees of speech analysis."
