Book Description
Spectrographic analysis is used to provide a scientific study of the phonetic patterns of accent, pitch, drift, and intonation, demonstrating that they are predictable phenomena. Bowers also shows that these features can be accounted for by an ordered set of grammatically conditioned rules and by utilization of diacritics.
