Visible Speech, The Science Of Universal Alphabetics - Alexander Melville Bell - Bog

Visible Speech, The Science Of Universal Alphabetics: Or Self-Interpreting Physiological Letters is a book written by Alexander Melville Bell in 1867. The book focuses on the development of a universal alphabet system that can be used to represent all the sounds of human speech. The author, who was a renowned teacher of elocution and speech, introduces a new system of notation that uses symbols to represent the position and movement of the lips, tongue, and throat during speech. This system, known as Visible Speech, is designed to be easily understood by anyone, regardless of their native language or dialect. The book also includes a detailed description of the anatomy of the vocal organs and how they produce speech sounds. The author argues that Visible Speech can be used to teach speech and language to deaf and mute individuals, as well as to aid in the study of foreign languages. The book is considered a landmark in the field of linguistics and has had a significant impact on the development of phonetics and speech therapy.For The Writing Of All Languages In One Alphabet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
