About the Introducing Phonetic Science website

 

This site is intended for use in conjunction with the textbook Introducing Phonetic Science by Michael Ashby and John Maidment, published by Cambridge University Press.  All material on the site, except where otherwise acknowledged, is © Michael Ashby and John Maidment, 2005.

The site is best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 or above.  In order to see the phonetic symbols as intended you will need the font Arial Unicode MS installed on your computer.

We have made every effort to limit the size of audio files, all of which are in MP3 format, but without sacrificing audio quality.  This means that some of the larger sound clips may take some time to download and play.  This depends on the speed of your internet connection.

While we welcome comments and reports of problems with the site, we cannot undertake to solve problems with your use of the site or with your understanding of the material on it.  We have tried to verify the links to external sites, but cannot be responsible for the content or continued availability of these.
