Alcohol and Speech
en Hardback – 31 ian 1997
Studies of both alcohol and speech have been rare because each field has its own experimental protocols, methodologies, and research agendas. This book fills a long-standing gap and is unique in providing both breadth of coverage and depth of analysis. A case study involving the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound develops some of the legal implications of this research.
Key Features
* Illustrates a unified perspective for the study of alcohol and speech
* Contains the benefit of years of research on alcohol and speech
* Provides a wealth of research to investigators in a wide variety of disciplines: medicine, psychology, speech, forensics, law, and human factors
* Demonstrates how alcohol and speech research applies in a practical situation: the Exxon Valdez grounding
* Includes a glossary as well as numerous tables and graphs for a quick overview of data and results

Recenzii
"The book provides a comprehensive review of the effects of alcohol on speech while comparing the various theoretical concerns that form this research. A special merit is the truly exhaustive survey of the relevant literature which also takes into account a significant number of studies which were written in and on languages other than English... The book thus serves as a single, unifying up-to-date reference source for those interested in speech motor effects evident in the acoustic records, reaction times, speech communication strategies, and perceptual judgments."
--HERMANN J. KENZEL, University of Trier, Budeskriminalamt Wiesbaden, Germany
"Scientifically characterizing the effects of alcohol on speech has important implications, as exemplified by the case of the Exxon Valdez. Alcohol and Speech will be the classic reference text on this important intersection between basic science and social issues."
--LINDA S. SOBELL, Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
"A very comprehensive treatise on alcohol and speech using the captain of the Exxon Valdez as the anecdotal model... The book is a meld of a broad array of disciplines each of which can contribute to a fundamental understanding of the specific effects of alcohol on speech... This book is unique."
--ROBERT F. BORKENSTEIN, Indiana University, Bloomington
"Chin and Pisoni bring to the reader a careful and complete assessment of the effects of alcohol on speech. The result of their scholarship should be of interest to anyone concerned with alcohol and speech, but the book also is a valuable reference for the general study of forensics and the effects of drugs on human behavior. This book sets a standard for the field and will surely find a secure place in the scientific and legal literature."
--RAY D. KENT, Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"...this book is the first attempt to bring together the research on alcohol and speech, and is largely successful. As such it will serve as a good reference text for any of the readers of Addiction Biology interested in the link between alcohol and speech."
