In order to speak French as it is spoken by native-speakers, one
needs not only to hear the language, but to know what to listen
for. This comprehensive and accessible guide to current French
pronunciation fulfils precisely this need.
The first three chapters outline the book's aims, level and
scope, as well as the general principles of French phonetics. The
author also alerts the reader to regional variations in the
pronunciation of French. He then turns to specifics, including
vowels, semi-consonants and consonants, providing the reader with
the basic knowledge needed to understand later chapters which
discuss these parts of speech at greater length. Interspersed are
other chapters covering such important aspects of French
pronunciation as rhythmic groups, the syllable, liaison and
intonation.
The orientation of "An Introduction to French Pronunciation" is
consistently practical, and phonetic theory and technical
terminology are kept to the minimum necessary. It will be of
interest to anyone with a basic knowledge of French who needs help
and advice in achieving a more authentic pronunciation.
