Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no
prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview
of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses,
commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The
innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around
four sections - Introduction, Development, Exploration and
Extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Revised
and updated throughout, this fourth edition of Practical English
Phonetics and Phonology: presents the essentials of the subject and
their day-to-day applications in an engaging and accessible manner;
covers all the core concepts of phonetics and phonology, such as
the phoneme, syllable structure, production of speech, vowel and
consonant possibilities, glottal settings, stress, rhythm,
intonation and the surprises of connected speech; incorporates
classic readings from key names in the discipline; outlines the
sound systems of six key languages from around the world (Spanish,
French, Italian, German, Polish and Japanese); is accompanied by a
brand-new companion website which hosts a collection of samples
provided by genuine speakers of 25 accent varieties from Britain,
Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
India, Singapore and West Africa, as well as transcriptions,
further study questions, answer keys, links to further reading and
numerous recordings to accompany activities in the book. This
edition has been completely reorganised and new features include:
updated descriptions of the sounds of modern English and the
adoption of the term General British (GB); considerable expansion
of the treatment of intonation, including new recordings; and two
new readings by David Crystal and John Wells. Written by authors
who are experienced teachers and researchers, this best-selling
textbook will appeal to all students of English language and
linguistics and those training for a certificate in TEFL.
