The study of English word stress: New perspectives on its history,
current state and issues Explores a range of approaches and topics
including the Guierrian School of phonology, the relevance of
orthography in English phonology, stress placement in English verbs
and the diversity of Englishes Examines word stress in English and
the diversity of Englishes with discussion of Australian and
Singaporean English Brings together contributors from France, Japan
and the US Includes over 60 tables and figures to clearly
demonstrate key concepts, data and ideas New Perspectives on
English Word Stress explores the mechanism of word stress
assignment in contemporary English from different methodological
and theoretical perspectives. Comprising nine chapters, these
approaches include a historical overview of the study of stress;
the relationship between historic changes in stress and meaning;
the relationship between spelling and stress; syllable weight and
stress; the theoretical treatment of exceptions; stress mechanisms
in Australian English; and stress in Singapore English. The book
presents new data and provides the reader with access to various
approaches to English word stress in phonology.
Placing contemporary spoken English at the centre of phonological
research, this book tackles the issue of language variation and
change through a range of methodological and theoretical
approaches. In doing so the book bridges traditionally separate
fields such as experimental phonetics, theoretical phonology,
language acquisition and sociolinguistics. Made up of 12 chapters,
it explores a substantial range of linguistic phenomena. It covers
auditory, acoustic and articulatory phonetics, second language
pronunciation and perception, sociophonetics, cross-linguistic
comparison of vowel reduction and methodological issues in the
construction of phonological corpora. The book presents new data
and analyses that demonstrate what phonologists, phoneticians and
sociolinguists do with their corpora and show how various
theoretical and experimental questions can be explored in light of
authentic spoken data.
