Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Human Speech Sounds The world needs a correct analysis of the human speech sounds. One can hardly believe that, in this age of the wireless, of aerial navigation, and of electricity, the human speech sounds are not scientifically understood. Yet such is the case. Not even the number of different sounds in the English language has been determined. Five English dictionaries, in their keys to the pronunciation, contain the following numbers of different sounds in the language, viz.: Webster´s New International, 64 sounds - 31 vowels and 33 consonants; the Standard, 49 sounds 31 - vowels and 18 consonants; the Century - sounds - 32 vowels and - consonants; Worcester´s, 55 sounds - 35 vowels and 20 consonants; and the Oxford dictionary, 99 sounds - 65 vowels and 34 consonants; - thus varying from 49 to 99 sounds. And A. J. Ellis, the great English phonetician, gives 273 different sounds in actual use in English pronunciation. In the examination of works on phonetics in the Congressional, the New York, and the Boston libraries, the author has not found a single work but what omits sounds, but what confuses sounds, and but what adds spurious sounds.
