====== canIPA Natural Phonetics – Downloadable PDF files ======

=== Introduction ===
  * The PDFs available on this page should not be intended as an exhaustive anthology but as a careful selection of what is most useful and updated to approach Natural Phonetics and Tonetics. Alongside monographic PDFs and single chapters from such “vintage” works as //A Handbook of Pronunciation//, this page provides quite extensive excerpts from newer handbooks such as our **[[http://lincom-shop.eu/epages/57709feb-b889-4707-b2ce-c666fc88085d.sf/en_GB/?ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&ObjectID=136161&PageSize=30&SearchString=Canepari&ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2F57709feb-b889-4707-b2ce-c666fc88085d|Lincom series]]** about the pronunciation and accents of individual languages. 

=== Bibliography ===
  * Here is a **{{docs:canepari-natural-phonotonetics-bibliography-2023-07-01.pdf|list}}** (updated 2023-07-01) of the books published so far and those under preparation, detailing the **Natural Phonetics and Tonetics** method and its **//<sup>can</sup>IPA//** phonetic alphabet, as well as the in-depth analysis of several languages. Some older publications included in the list are still valid in terms of theoretical and technical accuracy but have been superseded by more recent and extended works.

=== A note on the visualization of the dots on our tonograms ===
  * The dots on our tonograms should appear as filled dots (not as empty ones, with only a very thin edge, as reported by some readers). Thus, for a better result, we warmly suggest to read our PDF’s using professional programs, not only when those files contain tonograms.
