    Subject: Phonetics URLs


    As the new semester draws ever nearer, I've found myself scouring the Net for resources to use in my intro to phonetics course.

    What I discovered was nothing short of mindboggling. I still find it hard to fathom that so many really outstanding phonetics resources are out there just for the point-and-clicking. I feel immense *gratitude* to all the people and organizations who are freely sharing their treasures with the rest of the world. Thank you!!! What a remarkable service you are doing the Internet and linguistics communities!

    I then thought the least I could do is share my findings with others who might be interested. Maybe the following list of URLs can save you a few hours of search engine work (I worked on this some *days*! Thanks also to Google.com!). If you are at all into phonetics, and have a look at some of these, I cannot help but think that you will be amazed too - and perhaps save yourself a bit of class prep time. Many of the URLs below contain further links you may find useful.

    Oh, and if you have some of your own good links not listed here, please post them over LINGUIST, or write to me and I'll summarize. Happy clicking!
