Handbook of Phonetic Sciences
Three semiotic layers of spoken communication
The nature of phonetics
In ‘The Future of Phonetics’, Klaus Kohler sets out his personal view of modern phonetics as an integrated subject. He sets his vision of the future of phonetics, seen broadly as the study of the spoken medium of language, in a historical perspective. He is concerned to argue that modern phonetics is not the juxtaposition of subjects dealing with the spoken medium, but should be considered to be an autonomous subject. His argument is both academi…

Principles of Phonetics
Principles of Phonetics
Underlying the apparent diversity shown by thousands of mutually incomprehensible languages of the world, there is a remarkable, elegant and principled unity in the way that these languages exploit the phonetic resources of speech. It is these principles that Professor Laver sets out to describe in this major new textbook. Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, it is designed for readers who wish to pursue the study of phonetics from an i…

A Tribute to Peter Ladefoged
At the XIIth International Congress of Phonetic Sciences held in Aix-en-Provence (19–24 August 1991), Professor Peter Ladefoged was presented with a Gold Medal, jointly offered by the International Organizing Committee of the Congress, the International Phonetic Association, and the International Society of Phonetic Sciences, in recognition of his contribution to the subject of phonetics over the forty years of his career to date. Professor Mario…

The Cognitive representation of speech
The Concept of Articulatory Settings
Articulatory setting' is a modern term for the component of a speaker's voice quality that derives from a habitual muscular adjustment (such as tending to keep the tongue low in the mouth). The general concept of settings, as long-term tendencies underlying the momentary segmental and suprasegmental articulations of speech, however, has been the subject of discussion in writings on phonetics since the middle of the 17th century. The article explo…
Labels for voices
If semiotics is the general theory of communicative signs (Morris, 1938: 80), then phonetics constitutes part of that theory, in the sense that phonetics tries to model the means by which communication is achieved through the use of spoken signs. The technical vocabulary of phonetics is thus a sub-set of the meta-language of semiotics, and one might reasonably expect that other terms and concepts from semiotic theory, such as that of INDEXICAL an…
Variability in Vowel Perception
It was hypothesised that linguists vary, within their own performance, in locating a given vowel-stimulus on a Daniel Jones Cardinal Vowel diagram, over even a short period of time. The hypothesis was successfully tested, using material synthesised on PAT, the Resonance Analogue Speech Synthesiser at Edinburgh University, and an indication is given of the nature and extent of variation of location of the given stimuli, over a period of a week. Th…
