Principles of Phonetics
Comprehensive textbook on phonetics, with examples from over 500 languages.
The Modernisation of Russia, 1856-1985
This resource is written for for students studying the economic and social development of Russia and the Soviet Union, as well as the nature of Russian government and its impact on the Russian people in this period.
Voice Quality
The characteristic voice quality of a speaker conveys to listeners a wealth of information about his physical, psychological and social attributes. For this reason, voice quality is of interest to a wide range of disciplines, including linguistics, phonetics and speech science, speech pathology, sociology, psychology, medicine, and communication engineering. Literature on voice quality is, consequently, scattered through a correspondingly wide range of publications. While this bibliography is unlikely to be exhaustive, it aims to be comprehensive. Exceptions to this are purely medical literature and literature on speech pathology; also, although a number of different languages are represented, works in English received the principal coverage.
AQA History AS: Unit 2 - the Impact of Stalin's Leadership in the USSR, 1924-1941
Written to cover the AQA History A Level Unit 2 specification (HIS2L), our student book provides a focused look at key events in Russian history during 1924-1941 and enables students to gain a greater understanding of the period and evaluate the key issues.
Joseph Stalin
This analytical rather than chronological account of the political career of Joseph Stalin, leader of the USSR from the mid-1920s to his death in 1952, gives an account of his rise to power, and his responsibility for such events as the purges and show trials of the 1930s, collectivization of agriculture and the various five year plans for the industrializtion of the USSR.
Lenin
This account looks at the development of Lenin's ideas and political philosophy, and his part in the events of 1917 and the post-revolutionary chaos of civil war. Juxtaposing Lenin's life and career with the turbulent events which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union, the book focuses on the extent to which Lenin actually led or influenced events and the way he adapted ideas to the situation around him. As well as examining Lenin the thinker, revolutionary, politician and leader, this book reviews the changing interpretations of his life and work amongst both Soviet and Western historians.
The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences
Since Malmberg's classic Manual of Phonetics published in 1968 there has been no definitive up-to-date account of the phonetic sciences. The Handbook of Phonetic Sciences is unique in that it brings together, in the same volume, chapters on the biological foundations of speech and hearing such as brain functions underlying speech, organic variation of the vocal apparatus, auditory neural processing, articulatory processes together with chapters on theoretical and applied areas.
The Gift of Speech
This multidisciplinary text on the domain and nature of phonetics explores the production of speech and its control by the brain, and the description and analysis of voice quality. Twenty articles discuss topics such as slips of the tongue, neurolinguistic aspects of speech production, cognitive science and speech, language and non-verbal communication, the semiotic nature of phonetic data, structural pathologies of the vocal folds and pathology, acoustic waveform perturbations and voice disorders, and an analysis of vocal quality from the classical period to the 20th century. Of interest to theoretical linguists, as well as speech pathologists and therapists. Distributed by Columbia U. Press. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
