Well to be honest it was not easy for me to start writing this blog.
I was not sure about which topic I should choose.
At the end I have decided to write about an expert on my field. I remember that when I started studying I did not know what subjects I would have. One of them caught my attention immediately. That subject was phonetics and phonology. I had 3 semester of this subject and it was not easy but on my first year the teacher asked us to work with this really nice book, its name is phonetics and phonology, it was written by Peter Roach.
Peter Roach is a british phonetician, he was born in 30 June 1943. He is a graduate of Psychology and Philosophy, after that he studied at Manchester University where he studied teaching English overseas. Then, he decided to start his postgraduate studies, the course he took was Phonetics. He also completed a PhD. He retired in 2004.
I really like his book because it helped me a lot when I was a student. I still use it sometimes. When I was a student it was hard to understand the different chapters but now that I read it well it isn’t that easy but it isn’t as hard as it used to be.
This is Peter Roach
This is the book that I use, but now there is a fourth edition.
It is incredible how an author through a book can help so much in a subject. And the best thing is to compare the reading of a few years ago with the present one.
ReplyDeleteIt also happens to me that when I read them again they are much easier to understand than the first time hahahah

ReplyDeleteI'm not really into phonetics, but I do like semiotics, I don't quite understand it yet though. Is always good to find something that you like, even if nobody gets it.
ReplyDeletewow is very interesting this book, maybe I take a look. Is so great found persons what insparing us about ours carreers
ReplyDeleteI never see his books before (sorry), but sound so interesting, always are autors who really help with his word when other can't.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Personally, I am not very attracted to traditional language study reading, it requires a lot of patience and concentration so asn't to get bored or distracted.
ReplyDeleteI probably woudn't understand it if i read it, but i admire your dedication
ReplyDeletePersonally, I didn't know the author, much less the book. It looks interestingthe book but honestly I would not read it jajaja sorry.
ReplyDeleteNice memory of your university moments and how books mark us in a good way. :)
