Book The Pronunciation of English

Download or read book The Pronunciation of English written by Daniel Jones and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of The Pronunciation of English incorporates the final results of Daniel Jones' lifelong study of English pronunciation usage. It is the standard work on English phonetics and the name of its author will, in the words of Professor A. C. Gimson, 'remain in linguistic history as the great authority on the pronunciation of British English in the twentieth century'. The Pronunciation of English was written originally as a detailed description of the phonetics of English, presented from the point of vew of the native English-speaking student. However, it soon established itself as a standard textbook in universities where English is a foreign language, because it provides in a lucid and authoritative manner the basic information needed by foreign students of the language. Most of the book is devoted to a descriptive account of English pronunciation. This is followed by illustrative texts in phonetic transcription of Received Pronunciation and several regional varieties, Scottish and American pronunciation and reconstructions of Shakespearian and Chaucerian speech.

Book Introduction to English Phonetics

Download or read book Introduction to English Phonetics written by Richard Ogden and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this distinguished textbook introduces undergraduates to the concepts, terminology and representations needed for an understanding of how English is pronounced around the world. Assuming no prior knowledge, this textbook guides the reader through the vocal tract and explains how the sounds of speech are made, offering an accessible and expanded introduction to areas including transcription, vowels and acoustic analysis. As far as possible, it uses naturally-occurring conversational speech so that readers are familiar with the details of everyday talk (and not just the careful pronunciations presented in dictionaries.) The book also includes a new concluding chapter that works through a piece of spoken data to show the reader how a more complete phonetic analysis can be conducted. Examples are taken from around the English-speaking world, including North America, Australia, New Zealand and varieties of British English. The book takes an open-minded approach to what sounds of English might be significant for making meaning, and highlights the significance of word meaning, morphology, sociolinguistics and conversational interaction in phonetic analysis.

Book Introducing Phonetics and Phonology

Download or read book Introducing Phonetics and Phonology written by Mike Davenport and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines some of the ways in which linguists can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, the book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached. It begins with an examination of the foundations of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, moves on to the basic principles of phonology, and ends with an outline of some further issues within contemporary phonology. Varieties of English, particularly Received Pronunciation and General American, form the focus of consideration, but aspects of the phonetics and phonology of other languages are discussed as well. This new edition includes more discussion of Optimality Theory and a new glossary of terms. It has been updated throughout to take account of the latest developments in phonological theory, but without sacrificing the book's ease of use for beginners.

Book An Introduction to English Phonology

Download or read book An Introduction to English Phonology written by April McMahon and published by Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook introduces the main units and concepts you require to describe speech sounds accurately. By working through the book and the various exercises included, you will come to understand the need for a dedicated system of description and transcription for speech sounds, and for a degree of phonological abstraction to support our understanding of the behaviour of sounds in particular languages and varieties. You will learn to carry out elementary, broad phonetic transcription, and be able to establish contrastive vowel and consonant systems for your own varieties and to express simple generalisations reflecting the productive and predictable patterns of English sounds. At the end of the book there is a section guiding you through some of the exercises and there is also a detailed glossary which will be useful for assignments or revision during exams.

Download or read book From Zero to Hero written by Gabriela Brozbă and published by Editura Universității din București - Bucharest University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book, 'From Zero to Hero' is interesting from two points of view: a) many students, proficient speakers of English, begin their higher education studies with no knowledge of phonetics and phonology, but by going through this subject have every chance of becoming 'heroes', to teach others, in turn, its secrets; b) the material included in the book covers almost all the basic notions of this branches of linguistics, considered by Stephen Ullmann (1957) the foundation stone of a any language. What seemed to me the greatest gain of the book are the exercises presented at the end of each chapter, and the tests at the end of the book. Through their variety, they encourage students to verify and consolidate the theoretical notions acquired. Elena Buja
