A spectrogram of a human voice saying "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs". Time is measured along the x-axis and frequency up the y-axis. Colour is used to show the amount of energy at a given point - the "hotter" the colour the more energy at that time point and frequency.

New Books
- Early language development : bridging brain and behaviour - Angela D. Friederici, Guillaume Thierry. (2008)
This book establishes a dialogue between experimental psychology and electrophysiology in the study of infant language development. It aims to provide neuroscientists with an overview of the ingenious behavioural paradigms developed in the field and to introduce the power of neurophysiological indices to behavioural experimentalists. - Sign language acquisition - Anne Baker, Bencie Woll (2008)
"How children acquire a sign language and the stages of sign language development are extremely important topics in sign linguistics and deaf education, with studies in this field enabling assessment of an individual child's communicative skills in comparison to others. In order to do research in this area it is important to use the right methodological tools. The contributions to this volume address issues covering the basics of doing sign acquisition research, the use of assessment tools, problems of transcription/analyzing narratives and carrying out interaction studies. It serves as an ideal reference source for any researcher or student of sign languages who is planning to do such work."--BOOK JACKET.
