Doody Enterprises, Inc.: "* * * Three stars from Doody's Review Service!" Speech and Language Therapy in Practice, UK: "This is an ideal book for first year students to introduce the principles of phonetics and is a good reference guide for other students and clinicians. This easy to read, enjoyable book is very beneficial for students as the application of phonetics in the clinical setting is discussed throughout. It is also excellent value for money." Biljana Cubrovic, The Journal of International Phonetic Association, (2010): "Singh & Singh's practical textbook of phonetics is both innovative and easily accessible not only to language students, but also to expert phoneticians, especially to those interested in the story of the sounds of American English...this book successfully provides its user with the phonetic and phonological knowledge every speech-language pathologist or linguistics student should be equipped with. It deals with all major phonetic subfields and also provides some insight into phonology, which makes it a modern, accessible and comprehensive textbook."
