This early work Otto Jespersen was originally published in 1889 and we
are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The
Articulations of Speech Sounds Represented by Means of Analphabetic
Symbols' is a scholarly study in the area of linguistics. Otto Jespersen
was born in Randers, Denmark on 16th July 1869. He worked as an academic
at Copenhagen University and rose to the position of professor of
English, a post he held from 1893 to 1925. Jespersen made a considerable
contribution to the study of linguistics and some of his works are still
used as the basic texts for study in the field.
