Martin J. Ball is an honorary professor of linguistics at Bangor University, Wales, having previously held positions in Wales, Ireland, the US, and Sweden. He formerly co-edited Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics and co-edits the Journal of Multilingual and Bilingual Speech, as well as book series for Multilingual Matters and Equinox Publishers. He is an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, and a fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.

"This Manual of Clinical Phonetics is an impressive collection of chapters authored by distinguished scholars from various fields of phonetic sciences. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of phonetics, capturing its inter- and multidisciplinary nature, it offers valuable insight into state-of-the-art instrumental techniques in clinical phonetics and gives phonetic transcription the attention it deserves, particularly in studying disordered speech."— Professor Vesna Mildner, University of Zagreb, Croatia"The Manual of Clinical Phonetics presents work by experts and influential researchers, communicating key concepts in clear language while drawing on cutting-edge research to convey the direction of travel for the next decade and more. The breadth of topics presented in four well-organised parts, is comprehensive. What’s more, this manual pairs the core of the field (the foundations of clinical phonetics and phonetic transcription) with welcome explorations of variation. The manual also features a host of in-depth treatments of instrumentation, facilitating insightful quantitative and qualitative analyses." — Professor James Scobbie, Queen Margaret University, Scotland"This volume skillfully infuses a clinical perspective throughout comprehensive coverage of the science of phonetics. It is distinguished by extensive content in the area of instrumentation, including cutting-edge technologies like real-time MRI and automatic speech recognition. The choice to place multicultural and multilingual influences on phonetics at the forefront marks this volume as an essential collection for the modern scholar of clinical linguistics." — Dr Tara McAllister, New York University Steinhardt, USA
