This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... conception of the expansion of the pharynx during the utterance of wide vowels, is a difficult one to convey to deaf children who know no language; I have, therefore, not attempted to do more than convey the idea that the mouth passage for wide vowels, is slightly wider than for primary vowels, so that the primary and wide symbols, taken together, represent six degrees of aperture; for example: Take the front vowels, commencing with the smallest aperture and ending with the largest, we have the following series of apertures: --1. High Front. 2. High Front Wide. 3. Mid Front. 4. Mid Front Wide. 5. Low Front. 6. Low Front Wide. Third Group.--Primary Round Vowels. Reading downwards we have: --First line.--1. Voice, Back small-aperture, Lip, small-aperture. 2. Voice, Back mid-aperture, Lip mid-aperture. 3. Voice, Back large-apertui e, Lip large-aperture. Second line.--1.

Lip large-aperture. CHART V iTf in 111 lit J XI J11 HI Hf Hf 1U Ht iit Third line.--I. Voice, Front small-aperture, Lip small-aperture. 2. Voice, Front mid-aperture, Lip mid-aperture. 3.
