Book Overview

A Handbook of French Phonetics, written by William Albert Nitze and originally published in 1918, is a comprehensive guide to the sounds and pronunciation of the French language. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of phonetics, including the anatomy and physiology of speech, and then delves into the specific sounds of French, including vowels, consonants, and diphthongs. The author provides detailed descriptions of each sound, including its articulation, duration, and variations in different contexts. The book also includes exercises and drills to help readers practice their pronunciation and develop a more accurate and natural-sounding French accent.
