Abstract
THE art of speaking a foreign language demands (among other things) an ability to perform all kinds of difficult movements with the tongue and other parts of the speech-mechanism. Such ability may be acquired by the learner, if he is provided with precise instructions as to what he must do. It is the function of the phonetician to supply these instructions.
