Do you have a fear of transcription? Are you daunted by the
prospect of learning and handling unfamiliar symbols? This workbook
is for students who are new to linguistics and phonetics, and
offers a didactic approach to the study and transcription of the
words, rhythm and intonation of English. It can be used
independently or in class and covers all the pronunciation details
of words, phrases, rhythm and intonation. Progress is deliberately
gentle with plenty of explanations, examples and 'can't go wrong'
exercises. In addition, there is an associated website with audio
recordings of authentic speech, which provide back-up throughout.
The audio clips also introduce students to variations in accents,
with eleven different speakers. Going beyond the transcription of
words, the book also ventures into real discourse with the
simplification systems of colloquial English speech, rhythm and
intonation.
