This book aims to develop a framework for a fully explanatory theory of speech production and speech perception. It emphasises the difference between static models (primarily descriptive) and dynamic models that attempt to show how the basic linguistics and phonetics are related in an actual human speaker/listener.

'Tatham and Morton have written an interesting book about speech production and perception, summing up many of the major results in the field.' - Peter Ladefoged, Distinguished Professor of Phonetics Emeritus, UCLA, USA

'This book gives a complete review of speech production and perception as has been investigated through the 20th century...The authors give an excellent introduction to speech production and speech perception for students as well as for researchers who want to become familiar with these topics'. - Bernd J. Kroger - Acta Acustica
