CReSS Books
R. S. McGowan has written books about the physical aspects of speech production and their effects on phonetics, speech development, and phonology.
Publications include:
Acoustics of Speech Production
$54.99
by R. S. McGowan
“Acoustics of Speech Production” provides an understandable description of the fundamental acoustics of the vocal tract. There are many simulations with graphical presentations of acoustic wave motion and other phenomena.
On Formants
$39.99
by R. S. McGowan
“On Formants” is intended for phoneticians and others interested in speech production. We present ways of thinking of the relationship between vocal tract shape and formants that have never been presented before to researchers in phonetics.
Physical and Linguistic Aspects of Speech Production
$59.99
by R. S. McGowan
“Physical and Linguistic Aspects of Speech Production” summarizes physical acoustic theory and source mechanics in speech. Examples show how physical theory can be used to derive important results in linguistics.
