A complete basic course in English phonetics and
phonology which combines academic material with
practical exercises, both written and recorded. Since
the publication of the first edition in 1983, this course
has established itself as the most practical,
comprehensive text in the field and become widely
used in many parts of the world in universities and
other institutions of higher education. It is used by both
native and non-native speakers alike, and is suitable for
those training to teach English as well as those
studying the language at an advanced level. This new
edition takes into account recent developments in the
teaching of phonology. It includes updated references,
fuller coverage of intonation, and a new chapter on
different varieties of English with illustrative recorded
material. English Phonetics and Phonology bridges the
gap between simple pronunciation handbooks and
technical phonetics and phonology textbooks. It
presents the basic factual material and crucial
theoretical issues in a practical and readable way. At
the end of each chapter there are notes giving
information on further reading, discussion of the more
challenging issues, written exercises and, where
appropriate, suggestions for teachers. In addition the
audio CDs include recorded exercises for every
chapter which are particularly helpful for non-native
speakers. A full answer key is available at the back of
the book. Additional exercises and other supporting
material are available online.isbn-9780521149211
