Abstract This comprehensive book has become an internationally recognized standard reference on measurement of physiological and acoustical aspects of speech and voice. It features clear and concise discussions of the theory and implementation of the latest techniques, including many that are just emerging. Summaries of expected test results for normal and disordered speech have been expanded to incorporate the most recent findings in the international literature. This is a guide to an increasingly complex, and ever more important area of speech and voice rehabilitation. It includes extensive illustrations that clarify instrumentation arrays, equipment function, and test results. A comprehensive approach provides "one stop shopping" for help with all aspects of speech and voice measurement. Includes a new chapter on digital data and data-processing, and expanded test data summaries reflect the latest findings.
