Download or read book The Pronunciation of English in Scotland Classic Reprint written by William Grant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronunciation of English in Scotland A special book for Scottish Students is rendered necessary because the phonetic basis of educated Scottish speakers differs in many respects from that of Southern English, and further because our teachers have peculiar difficulties to overcome in dealing with pupils whose everyday speech is Scottish Dialect or Gaelic. Such difficulties cannot be successfully tackled without some definite phonetic knowledge and practice such as we have set forth in this work. The book is divided into three parts with an Appendix. Part I deals with the manner and place of formation of the various sounds and the changes they undergo in combina tion with each other. The general plan follows the lines of Mr Daniel Jones's Pronunciation of English and the corresponding definitions and descriptions in the two volumes are made to agree as far as possible. Part I also enumerates the variations from Standard speech and gives suggestions for the correction of errors of pronunciation. Part II consists of a series of texts written in the speech of the educated middle classes of Scotland (see p. The alphabet used is that of the International Phonetic Association. The student who can use this alphabet easily for reading and writing may be regarded as possessing a fair knowledge of elementary phonetics. Part III contains a series of questions on the subject matter of Part I which will be found useful for students who wish to test their own knowledge and for teachers who desire to test the results of their instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronunciation of English in Scotland This book is intended primarily as a Phonetic Manual J- for the use of students in Scottish Training Colleges and Junior Student Centres, but it is hoped that it may prove useful to teachers of English of all grades in our Scottish schools, to lawyers and ministers and all those who, in the course of their calling, have to engage in public speaking. Foreigners, too, may find that the more conservative pronunciation of educated Scotland as depicted in this volume, is easier to acquire than the Southern type of English, and all students of language should be interested in the study of the Scottish variety of Standard English. As the Scotch Education Department has recommended the study of Phonetics in its Memorandum on the teaching of Modern Languages (p. 5) and in its Memorandum on the teaching of English in Primary Schools (p. 8), and as our Training Centres have incorporated the subject in their time-tables, it has become practically obligatory for all teachers of language. Phonetics as the best basis for Modern Language study, is now generally admitted except in quarters " hopelessly obscurantist." We are also firmly convinced that some phonetic training in the early stages of the school curriculum is a desirable thing because it cultivates the observing faculties of the child, appeals to an intelligent interest in facts, and has an important bearing on clear, distinct enunciation, correct pronunciation and expressive reading.

Download or read book Legacies of Colonial English written by Raymond Hickey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of colonization, many varieties of English now exist around the world. Originally published in 2005, Legacies of Colonial English brings together a team of internationally renowned scholars to discuss the role of British dialects in both the genesis and subsequent history of postcolonial Englishes. Considering the input of Scottish, English and Irish dialects, they closely examine a wide range of Englishes - including those in North and South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand - and explain why many of them still reflect non-standard British usage from the distant past. Complete with a checklist of dialect features, a detailed glossary and set of general references on the topic of postcolonial Englishes, this book will be an invaluable source to scholars and students of English language and linguistics, particularly those interested in sociolinguistics, historical linguistics and dialectology.
