Sound Patterns of Spoken English is a concise, to-the-point
compendium of information about the casual pronunciation of
everyday English as compared to formal citation forms. The book
examines changes that occur to certain sounds and in certain parts
of words and syllables in the casual, unmonitored speech of native
English speakers. It outlines major phonological processes found in
conversational English; reviews and criticizes attempts to include
these processes in phonological theory; and surveys experimental
approaches to explaining casual English pronunciation. Among the
varieties of English covered are General American and Standard
Southern British, but many other accents are mentioned, especially
those of mainland Britain. Sound Patterns of Spoken English is of
interest to students and scholars in a wide variety of fields,
including sociolinguistics, lexicography, rhetoric, language
learning and speech sciences, and has an accompanying website -
http://www. blackwellpublishing. com/shockey - with examples from
different accents.
