读后感

清晰易懂
比较好读的声学/听觉语音学入门。更适合对语音学略有基础的时候看,因为有时会横空出世一些术语。第二三节的硬核声学技术讲解有点儿劝退,不过好在作者讲得比较慢,并且自己不需要的部分可以略微过一过。第四节之后的内容会比较亲切一些,可以顺便补充语音学基础。(就是我自己看的电子书老版太费眼睛了啊啊啊)
比起之前读第二版的时候,这一版读得更细。总觉得这本书太atechnical,基本上所有术语都没有给出科学定义,以至于练习中sufficient jargon部分几乎全部要自己去查资料才能找到准确定义。不过这本书最值得推荐的是每一章后面recommended reading不仅仅列出文献,还很贴心地写了annotation,使得每一篇文献的地位更加清楚,也方便读者快速找到对自己价值最大的经典文献。selected answer嘛,select得比较玄学就是了……

挺烂的,尤其是信号处理那部分,排版太差老是要翻来翻去的,图/实际应用太少。建议直接读lyons和shaughnessy的,这种想要什么都涉及的小书是非常难写的,觉得作者没什么天分写书,看了他好几本了,读起来都很涩
