Book SynopsisAccording to a leading cognitive scientist, we've been teaching reading wrong. The latest science reveals how we can do it right.In 2011, when an international survey reported that students in Shanghai dramatically outperformed American students in reading, math, and science, President Obama declared it a "Sputnik moment": a wake-up call about the dismal state of American education. Little has changed, however, since then: over half of our children still read at a basic level and few become highly proficient. Many American children and adults are not functionally literate, with serious consequences. Poor readers are more likely to drop out of the educational system and as adults are unable to fully participate in the workforce, adequately manage their own health care, or advance their children's education.In Language at the Speed of Sight, internationally renowned cognitive scientist Mark Seidenberg reveals the underexplored science of reading, which spans cognitive science, neurobiology, and linguistics. As Seidenberg shows, the disconnect between science and education is a major factor in America's chronic underachievement. How we teach reading places many children at risk of failure, discriminates against poorer kids, and discourages even those who could have become more successful readers. Children aren't taught basic print skills because educators cling to the disproved theory that good readers guess the words in texts, a strategy that encourages skimming instead of close reading. Interventions for children with reading disabilities are delayed because parents are mistakenly told their kids will catch up if they work harder. Learning to read is more difficult for children who speak a minority dialect in the home, but that is not reflected in classroom practices. By building on science's insights, we can improve how our children read, and take real steps toward solving the inequality that illiteracy breeds.Both an expert look at our relationship with the written word and a rousing call to action, Language at the Speed of Sight is essential for parents, educators, policy makers, and all others who want to understand why so many fail to read, and how to change that.

This second edition has been extensively revised to include coverage of syntactic change, sociolinguistics, language variation, and language contact, as well as more detailed definitions and background information for beginners.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Joseph Salmons has produced a brilliant and challenging book that is already spurring fruitful discussion and collaboration. This project will give students a real sense of our dynamic field, with its lively debates and intriguing open questions. For many students, Salmonss book and website will be their first taste of Germanic historical linguistics and perhaps their first exposure to linguistics of any kind.

Language, 07/07/14 *an insightful, informative, and inspiring work of scholarship ... A History of German is a major contribution to the fields of historical Germanic linguistics and historical linguistics in general, and it will certainly be useful to readers for many years to come. * John D. Sundquist, Journal of Germanic Linguistics 05/06/15 *The book had its origin in material prepared for university courses, and the authors enthusiasm for the subject, his estimable command of current research, and his desire to communicate it to students are evident throughout. * Martin Durrell, The Modern Language Review 16/04/2014 *I strongly recommend this book to everybody interested in learning and/or teaching the history of German. * Barbara Schlücker, Morphology 18/09/13 *a most welcome addition to the existing literature on the history of the German language ... a joy to read ... an excellent volume. * Tonya Kim Dewey, Beitraege zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur 12/06/15 *Table of Contents1: Introduction: aims and scope 2: The depths of prehistory: up to Indo-European 3: The dawn of history: Germanic up to the earliest direct attestation 4: From Germanic to Old High German: early textual evidence 5: Middle High German: the High Middle Ages 6: Early New High German: richer structural evidence and socio-historical context 7: New High German: recent and ongoing change 8: Conclusion: interpreting the significance of the past for us References

Book SynopsisThe new, third, edition of this indispensable guide for speech pathology and therapy students is completely updated, applying the results of the most recent research into speech disorders. Phonetics for Speech Pathology introduces normative aspects of phonetics and describes how these may go wrong in atypical speech, and the consequences when they do. The book deals with the three main areas of phonetics: articulatory, acoustic, and auditory, this last being often neglected in phonetics textbooks. The chapters are copiously illustrated, with most diagrams and figures newly drawn for this edition. Correct use of phonetic symbolizations and the importance of adequate transcription in the clinic are stressed, as is the use of instrumental analyses to augment impressionistic descriptions of speech. A range of modern instrumental techniques in speech analysis is covered, as are developments in hearing research including auditory processing disorder. The book concludes with an introduction to current models of speech production and perception.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Part 1 Articulatory Phonetics Chapter 1 The Vocal Organs Chapter 2 Initiation Chapter 3 Phonation Chapter 4 Manner of Articulation Chapter 5 Place of Articulation Chapter 6 Orality and Nasality Chapter 7 Plosives Chapter 8 Vowels Chapter 9 Primary, secondary, and double articulations Chapter 10 Phonetic Transcription Chapter 11 Parametric Phonetics Chapter 12 Suprasegmentals: Length, stress and pitch Chapter 13 Suprasegmentals: Voice Quality Chapter 14 Speech Imaging Part 2 Acoustic Phonetics Chapter 15 Frequency and Pitch Chapter 16 Intensity and Loudness Chapter 17 Resonance Chapter 18 Recording Speech Chapter 19 Acoustic Analysis: Spectrography Chapter 20 Acoustic Characteristics of Vowels Chapter 21 Acoustic Characteristics of Sonorants Chapter 22 Acoustic Characteristics of Obstruents Chapter 23 Acoustic Characteristics of Suprasegmentals: Stress Chapter 24 Acoustic Characteristics of Suprasegmentals: Pitch Chapter 25 Acoustic Characteristics of Suprasegmentals: Connected speech Chapter 26 Acoustic Characteristics of Suprasegmentals: Voice Quality Chapter 27 Acoustic Characteristics of Child Speech Disorders Chapter 28 Acoustic Characteristics of Acquired Speech Disorders Part 3 Auditory Phonetics Chapter 29 Hearing: The Ear Chapter 30 Hearing: Perception Chapter 31 Hearing: Comprehension Chapter 32 Perceptual Units of Speech Chapter 33 Hearing Impairment Chapter 34 Phonetics of Hearing Impaired Speech Chapter 35 Audiological Measurement Chapter 36 Auditory Processing Disorder Chapter 37 Feedback in Speech Chapter 38 Psychoacoustic Experiments Chapter 39 Delayed Auditory Feedback Chapter 40 Dichotic Listening Chapter 41 Time-Variated Speech Chapter 42 Models of Speech Production and Perception Appendices: Phonetic Symbols and Notes on Transcription Appendix I The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) Appendix II The Extensions to the IPA for Disordered Speech (extIPA) Appendix III VoQS symbols for Voice Quality
