I am sad to know that a man this wise and helpful has passed away, but at over 90 years traveling this lands he deserves to rest.Tadalafilhttp://www.xlpharmacy.com/generic-cialis/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-85957733701915285822009-11-10T01:15:35.128+00:002009-11-10T01:15:35.128+00:00I must confess I've worked on enough spectrogr...I must confess I've worked on enough spectrograms in my lifetime. I learnt a lot from his work on Caucasian phonetics and phonology. What Ian Catford particularly chastised me for was my use of X-ray motion films. We were never in the same place at the same time, so I never got the chance to talk it over with him eye to eye. Now it's too late.Sidney Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138711082469220983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-14016137284110058982009-11-04T17:44:39.116+00:002009-11-04T17:44:39.116+00:00It is a matter of deep sadness to me, too, to know...It is a matter of deep sadness to me, too, to know that we've lost another "true" phonetician who can tell us what phonetics is all about and how a phonetician should be. I'm a firm believer that no one who does not have the ability (or make efforts to acquire the ability) to "recognize and produce a wide range of speech sounds" can't call himself/herself a "phonetician" or a "phonologist". I was very much looking forward to more books and articles by Catford coming out...Shigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064218668792306369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-21351412076483986172009-11-03T19:47:30.970+00:002009-11-03T19:47:30.970+00:00Hear, hear from here too.

On more than one occasion I've thought of a really neat way to teach students how to produce particular sounds, only to find it's in Catford.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-61268403675991747462009-11-03T16:58:43.042+00:002009-11-03T16:58:43.042+00:00:Adds to wishlist:
