Download or read book The Sounds of the French Language written by Paul Passy. This book was released on 2015-07-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sounds of the French Language: Their Formation, Combination and Representation The responsibility of issuing an English edition of my Sons du Francuis rests with Mr. Savory, who has invited Mr. Jones to collaborate in carrying out the project. Personally, I should as soon have thought of carrying water to the river as of publishing a work on phonetics in tho country of Ellis and Sweet, but I shall be only too glad if, as Mr. Savory confidently anticipates, the book meets with a warm welcome both in England and America. I wish it to be clearly understood, however, that this is an elementary work, intended for teachers and advanced students of French; it is not a scientific treatise for phonetic specialists. These last, should they read it, would find little to interest them. The book contains no new theories, no important discoveries, hardly anything that is not generally known and received. At the same time it is, of course, written on rigorously scientific lines; all facts mentioned have been carefully verified by myself, unless the contrary is expressly stated, and in the latter case nothing has been accepted save on the best authority.
