Your Review Submitted Successfully!
This is a description of present-day English pronunciation.
It aims to describe the principal native-speaker varieties
of English, showing the phonological elements shared by
all varieties of the language and setting out specific
differences against a framework of commonality. The book
is intended to be a text for undergraduate and postgraduate
students whose field of study includes linguistics and/or
English language, and for those who are preparing to teach
English as a second or foreign language. It should be useful
to both native speakers and those who have acquired the
language through formal instruction.
