Taylor & Francis Ltd Phonological Skills and Learning to Read
Book SynopsisIn this classic edition of their ground-breaking work, Usha Goswami and Peter Bryant revisit their influential theory about how phonological skills support the development of literacy. The book describes three causal factors which can account for children's reading and spelling development: pre-school phonological knowledge of rhyme and alliteration the impact of alphabetic instruction on knowledge about phonemes links between early spelling and later reading. This classic edition includes a new introduction from the authors which evaluates research from the past 25 years. Examining new evidence from auditory neuroscience, statistical modelling and orthographic database analyses, as well as new data from cognitive developmental psychology and educational studies, the authors consider how well their original ideas have stood up to the test of time.Phonological Skills and Learning to Read will contiTrade ReviewThis book really gives one the feeling that progress has been made. The meticulous stock-taking evident in the extensive literature review has brought this out. The great puzzle of the phoneme in literacy is virtually solved. The hunt for this solution has been one of the most exciting enterprises in psychology today. Moreover, it has brought developmental psychology into direct contact with educational practice. This book is scholarly yet clear, didactic yet fun to read. It can be recommended to anybody who has ever wondered how children learn to read…I am wholly enthusiastic about this book, and I believe that it will be much in demand as a set course book. - Uta Frith, MRC Cognitive Development Unit, London, UK Goswami and Bryant have provided us with an excellent book. It is clearly written and a delight to read. It is relevant to both theory and the practical task of teaching children to read. It will, deservedly, be read by a wide audience. - Margaret Snowling, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this monograph…The argument is a delight…This will be a very valuable contribution to thinking about the role of phonological processing in reading and in learning to read, but it will also be usable as an undergraduate text. I shall certainly consider using it to support my own course on Reading and Understanding. -Geoffrey Underwood, University of Nottingham, UK Goswami and Bryant assemble an impressive number of research studies which bear on their thesis, outlining them clearly and succinctly. They write persuasively but never dogmatically, revealing a refreshing willingness to give credit to theoretical positions other than their own. This book deserves serious attention by all those who are keen to relate the practice of the teaching of reading to theory which is firmly grounded in careful empirical work. -Katherine Perera, The Times Higher Education Supplement Perhaps the real contribution of this attractive monograph is that it offers a new conceptualisation of the relationship between speech and literacy which can give an exciting direction for future research. -P.H.K. Seymour, The Times Higher Educational Supplement I think this is an excellent and timely book. It has been a pleasure reviewing it. -Charles Hulme, University of York, UKThis is a revised edition of the authors' groundbreaking work, which revists their theory about how phonlogical skills support the development of literacy. This new edition evaluates research from the past 25 years and examines fresh evidence from a wide variety of associated fields, assessing how the original theory stands the test of time. - Neil Henty, Early Years EducatorTable of ContentsPraise for the First EditionIntroduction to the Classic Edition1 Phonological Awareness and Reading. 2 How Children Read Words.3 Spelling and Phonological Awareness. 4 How Children Read and Write New Words. 5 Comparisons with Backward Readers and Spellers.6 Correlations and Longitudinal Predictions.7 Teaching Children About Sound. 8 Do Children Read and Fail to Learn to Read in Different Ways from Each Other. 9 Theories About Learning to Read.Index

Cambridge University Press Introducing Phonetic Science
Book SynopsisThis accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonetics, the study of speech. Assuming no prior knowledge of the topic, it introduces students to the fundamental concepts in phonetic science, and equips them with the essential skills needed for recognizing, describing and transcribing a range of speech sounds. Numerous graded exercises enable students to put these skills into practice, and the sounds introduced are clearly illustrated with examples from a variety of English accents and other languages. As well as looking at traditional articulatory description, the book introduces acoustic and other instrumental techniques for analysing speech, and covers topics such as speech and writing, the nature of transcription, hearing and speech perception, linguistic universals, and the basic concepts of phonology. Providing a solid foundation in phonetics, Introducing Phonetic Science will be invaluable to all students beginning courses in linguistics, speech scienceTrade Review'This rigorous and comprehensive introduction will prove to be invaluable not only to students of phonetics and linguistics but to all who are interested in the study of sound, speech and language.' Professor Yoshiki Nagase, University of Yamanashi, Japan'Ashby and Maidment have succeeded in synthesizing complex and challenging material in a way that is accessible to beginners … I have not used a better introductory textbook on the subject.' Dominic Watt, Department of Linguistics, University of Aberdeen'An excellent introductory textbook. It is the only one that truly combines articulatory and instrumental approaches to phonetics. In addition it has a abundance of clear and helpful exercises.' William Idsardi, Department of Linguistics, University of Delaware'Ashby and Maidment succeed resoundingly in introducing the basics of phonetics from scratch … They have illustrated the text excellently, with large, well-explained spectrograms and diagrams, and the volume is clearly written, with individual chapters on place and manner of articulation, phonation, air-stream mechanisms, co-articulation, suprasegmentals, speech perception and basic phonology. … Students of phonology and phonetics would benefit … and will find … some explanations that are clearly better than those available elsewhere.' The Times Higher Education Supplement'This introductory textbook in phonetics is excellently composed and written, it's style being mostly clear and elegant in spite of the complex topic. It contains a large number of figures, tables and practical exercises. Illuminating sound examples have been taken from several languages from different parts of the world. It also treats some issues that are usually not included in introductory textbooks, e.g. voice types, click modification, hearing deficiencies. ... the book will be highly recommendable, due to its very high quality in terms of coverage, as well as macro- and micro-level composition.'

Cambridge University Press Evolutionary Phonology
Book SynopsisThis book explores the nature of sound change in human language over the past 7000–8000 years. It presents a new approach to the problem of how genetically unrelated languages can often show similar sound patterns, and why there are many exceptions to the patterns often regarded as universal.Trade Review'The book contains everything that makes a linguistics book fascinating to read: an overview of the field, a provocative theory for explaining phonological facts, and numerous contemporary and historical examples from a wide sample of languages to support the new theory … As a whole, I think the book makes an interesting contribution to the field of phonology. The theory presented proposes that much of the complexity of human sound systems is due to historical processes that are set in motion by different kinds of misperception, while the actual learning and representations in the mind/brain are relatively simple and general … Blevins' theory does not propose strict formal rules and algorithms to process and learn sound system, but rather a number of mechanisms, heuristics and ways of looking at linguistic phenomena that can be adapted to particular instances … I consider this to be a practical perspective … all in all, I found this book easier to read and less formal than most books on phonological theory … this book is well worth reading for a new perspective on phonology that conforms to the trend towards more data-driven models of language.'

Cambridge University Press Old English Phonology 14 Cambridge Studies in Linguistics Series Number 14
Book SynopsisA detailed study of Old English, taking as its point of departure the 'standard theory' of generative phonology as developed by Chomsky and Halle. Dr Lass and Dr Anderson set out all the main phonological processes of Old English and against their larger historical background (including subsequent developments in the history of English). They propose many fresh solutions to long-standing problems in the history and structure of Old English. The result is an extensive and sophisticated treatment of this subject. An important theory is examined against a well-studied body of linguistic knowledge, and is partly validated and partly revised. The book will be important for all linguistics and historians of English and Indo-European.Table of ContentsList of abbreviations; Preface; Preliminaries: The Feature Framework; 1. 'Ablaut' in the Old English strong verb; 2. The Anglo-Frisian brightening; 3. Two processes of vowel epenthesis: breaking and back umlaut; 4. Palatalisation and I-umlaut; 5.

Cambridge University Press Spelling and Society
Book SynopsisThis 2007 text explores why matters of orthography are of real concern to so many groups as a powerful symbol of national or local identity. Will be welcomed by students and researchers in English language, orthography and sociolinguistics, and by anyone interested in the importance of spelling in contemporary society.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Mark Sebba goes beyond a description of the culture and the politics of orthography around the globe … such a 'sociolinguistics of orthography' has been missing from the literature.' Pragmatics'Spelling and Society is a well written, researched, and structured book, with each chapter partitioned into reasonably-sized, subtitled sections, making for an enjoyable read.' Lionel Mathieu, Linguist ListTable of ContentsIntroduction: society and orthography; 1. Approaching orthography; 2. Orthography as social practice; 3. Language contact, linguists and the emergence of orthographies; 4. 'Postcolonial' orthographies; 5. Between language and dialect: orthography in unstandardised and standardising vernaculars; 6.

Cambridge University Press Expression and Meaning
Book SynopsisJohn Searle's Speech Acts made a highly original contribution to work in the philosophy of language. Expression and Meaning is a direct successor, concerned to develop and refine the account presented in Searle's earlier work, and to extend its application to other modes of discourse such as metaphor, fiction, reference, and indirect speech arts.Trade Review'[The essays] are written with typical Searlean vigor, clarity, and originality. The result is a volume that deserves more than a mealy-mouthed speech act issuance of the 'You ought to read it' sort, which could be countered without inconsistency with 'But don't bother if you are busy.' Instead, I issue a straight directive: Read it!' Language in Society'Expression and Meaning collects some characteristically forthright and provocative essays on outstanding topics.' John McDowell, The London Review of Books'As one would expect, this is a stimulating collection. Searle is sensitive to detail, but I am most stuck by his penchant for bold distinctions and explanations. And he is systematic; the book considerably enlarges the earlier theory.' Brian Loar, The Philosophical Review'There is a great deal of meat in Searle's treatment of metaphor, as elsewhere in his book, giving it an important place among the steadily increasing works that are developing the foundations, implications and applications of act theory.' Monroe C. Beardsley, International Studies in PhilosophyTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Origins of the essays; 1. A taxonomy of illocutionary acts; 2. Indirect speech acts; 3. The logical status of fictional discourse; 4. Metaphor; 5. Literal meaning; 6. Referential and attributive; 7. Speech acts and recent linguistics; Bibliography; Index.
