How do you pronounce omega, tortoise and sloth? And why? Do charted
and chartered sound the same? How do people pronounce the names
Charon, Punjab, and Sexwale? In this engaging book, John Wells, a
world-renowned phonetician and phonologist, explores these
questions and others. Each chapter consists of carefully selected
entries from Wells' acclaimed phonetics blog, on which he regularly
posted on a range of current and widely researched topics such as
pronunciation, teaching, intonation, spelling, and accents. Based
on sound scholarship and full of fascinating facts about the
pronunciation of Welsh, Swedish, Czech, Zulu, Icelandic and other
languages, this book will appeal to scholars and students in
phonetics and phonology, as well as general readers wanting to know
more about language. Anyone interested in why a poster in Antigua
invited cruise ship visitors to enjoy a game of porker, or what
hymns can tell us about pronunciation, should read this book.
