Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the Pitman Method of Phonography, a concise shorthand system for efficient and legible note-taking. Designed by Isaac Pitman in the nineteenth century, it accurately records spoken language, enabling verbatim reporting and various other practical applications. Moving beyond the limitations of the traditional alphabet, this book introduces 34 symbols that each represent specific sounds. The author carefully guides readers through the process of mastering these symbols, and writing sentences using them, with practice exercises throughout each lesson. The book then delves into the system's core principles, explaining how symbols are combined to form words and phrases. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the phonetic structure of language, as it relates to shorthand writing. Using a step-by-step approach, the author takes students from the basics of writing consonant and vowel sounds to more complex topics such as diphthongs and triphthongs. By implementing a system of dots and dashes placed at varying positions along stems, the book teaches writers to capture the sounds of spoken language with remarkable accuracy. The result is a highly adaptable system that lends itself well to a wide range of purposes, including speech transcription, note-taking, and personal journaling. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332337330_0
