In this 1977 text, Dennis Fry provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of human speech. We learn what lies behind such familiar curiosities as the tongue-twister, Spoonerism and the stammer, and we get a general grasp of the physical and psychological background to all our speech functions and malfunctions.
