- More about Voice Quality: The Laryngeal Articulator Model
This book provides a new framework for studying voice quality production, informed by instrumental examinations of the laryngeal articulatory mechanism. It focuses on the long-term auditory-articulatory component of accent, explaining how voice quality relates to segmental and syllabic sounds. Phonetic illustrations and video/audio material are available on a companion website.
Format: Paperback / softback

This groundbreaking book, marking the first comprehensive description of voice quality production in forty years, presents a novel framework for its study. Drawing upon instrumental examinations of the laryngeal articulatory mechanism, it revolutionizes our understanding of articulatory postures by elucidating the actions, vibrations, and resonances generated in the epilarynx and pharynx. With a particular emphasis on the long-term auditory-articulatory component of accent across the world's languages, it unravels the intricate relationship between voice quality and segmental and syllabic sounds. Phonetic illustrations accompany detailed descriptions of phonation types and laryngeal and oral vocal tract articulatory postures, enriching the reader's comprehension. An extensive companion website offers a wealth of video and audio material, further enhancing the learning experience.
The book delves into computational simulations, shedding light on the laryngeal and voice quality foundations of infant speech acquisition, as well as the impact of speech/voice disorders and surgeries on compensatory laryngeal articulator adjustment. It also explores the role of voice quality in sound change and the larynx's evolutionary significance in the development of speech.
By providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of phonetics, phonology, speech therapy, and voice science. Its innovative insights and comprehensive coverage make it a must-read for anyone interested in advancing our understanding of voice quality and its diverse manifestations across languages and cultures.
