Description

Routledge are delighted to announce the re-issue of the prestigious International Library of Psychology (ILPsych). This reprints 201 volumes originally published between 1910 and 1965. The International Library of Psychology presents a fascinating insight into the development of psychology as a discipline over several decades. The series became an important forum for emerging areas within psychology, from cognitive, developmental and physiological to analytical, psychoanalysis and social. Spanning four decades, from 1910 to 1965, the series traces the evolution of thinking on such key areas as child psychology, education, the emotions, perception and religion. The series also includes titles on subjects which were subsequently discarded by modern mainstream psychology, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, palmreading and eugenics.

Description

This is Volume XII of twenty-one in a series on Cognitive Psychology. Originally published in 1930, this book is addressed to the general reader, with a preference for him or her that is interested in Speech from one or other of its practical aspects, namely, as a means for communicating and recording ideas, as the basis of the arts of literature poetry and song, or as one of the principal accomplishments distinguishing man from the lower animals. Some of the results arrived a t may be of interest to linguists, to teachers of speech to the deaf, and to those musicians or scientists who are concerned in the practice or teaching of voice production and elocution, or in the improvement or "humanising" of the tone of organ pipes and other wind instruments. Its aim is to give, in simple language, an account of some personal observations and experiments on the phenomenon of human speech, and some conclusions and suggestions as to its probable origin and future development.
