Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phonetics for Scottish Students: The Sounds of Polite Scottish Described and Compared With Those of Polite English The first steps in practical phonetics must be taken from the standpoint of the student's own sounds. Books on English phonetics are not useful, they are definitely harmful to a Scottish beginner; the spelling conceals existing differences of pronunciation, and the statements of the English writer misunderstood, disgust and confuse. When the Scottish student has studied his own sounds, and compared and contrasted them with the English pronunciation, he knows that great differences exist, and can study English phonetics with profit from the English standpoint. This book aims at supplying a link between Scottish students and the standard phonetic literature. It is with great regret that I am forced by the exigencies of the case to invent to some extent my own symbols. When Mr. Daniel Jones' Pronunciation of English appeared, with its numerous symbols, I hoped to be able to adopt them. But it is impossible, for example, to use e:, i:, u: for the Scottish sounds in day, queen, food; e, i, u for the English sounds in red, lip, good; since in Scottish the tense sounds are often heard short or half-long, making it imperatively necessary to have separate symbols for the tense and slack vowels, to which marks of length or shortness may be added.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronunciation of English in Scotland A special book for Scottish Students is rendered necessary because the phonetic basis of educated Scottish speakers differs in many respects from that of Southern English, and further because our teachers have peculiar difficulties to overcome in dealing with pupils whose everyday speech is Scottish Dialect or Gaelic. Such difficulties cannot be successfully tackled without some definite phonetic knowledge and practice such as we have set forth in this work. The book is divided into three parts with an Appendix. Part I deals with the manner and place of formation of the various sounds and the changes they undergo in combina tion with each other. The general plan follows the lines of Mr Daniel Jones's Pronunciation of English and the corresponding definitions and descriptions in the two volumes are made to agree as far as possible. Part I also enumerates the variations from Standard speech and gives suggestions for the correction of errors of pronunciation. Part II consists of a series of texts written in the speech of the educated middle classes of Scotland (see p. The alphabet used is that of the International Phonetic Association. The student who can use this alphabet easily for reading and writing may be regarded as possessing a fair knowledge of elementary phonetics. Part III contains a series of questions on the subject matter of Part I which will be found useful for students who wish to test their own knowledge and for teachers who desire to test the results of their instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronunciation of English in Scotland This book is intended primarily as a Phonetic Manual J- for the use of students in Scottish Training Colleges and Junior Student Centres, but it is hoped that it may prove useful to teachers of English of all grades in our Scottish schools, to lawyers and ministers and all those who, in the course of their calling, have to engage in public speaking. Foreigners, too, may find that the more conservative pronunciation of educated Scotland as depicted in this volume, is easier to acquire than the Southern type of English, and all students of language should be interested in the study of the Scottish variety of Standard English. As the Scotch Education Department has recommended the study of Phonetics in its Memorandum on the teaching of Modern Languages (p. 5) and in its Memorandum on the teaching of English in Primary Schools (p. 8), and as our Training Centres have incorporated the subject in their time-tables, it has become practically obligatory for all teachers of language. Phonetics as the best basis for Modern Language study, is now generally admitted except in quarters " hopelessly obscurantist." We are also firmly convinced that some phonetic training in the early stages of the school curriculum is a desirable thing because it cultivates the observing faculties of the child, appeals to an intelligent interest in facts, and has an important bearing on clear, distinct enunciation, correct pronunciation and expressive reading.

Download or read book A Sociophonetic Approach to Scottish Standard English written by Ole Schützler and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying a sociophonetic research paradigm, this volume presents an investigation of variation and change in the Scottish Standard English accent. Based on original audio recordings made in Edinburgh, it provides detailed acoustic and auditory analyses of selected accent features. In contrast to other studies of English in Scotland, the focus is on the extent to which certain characteristics of middle-class speech are susceptible (or immune) to the influence of Southern Standard British English, or vary in ways unrelated to that influence. Beyond the fine-grained patterns of variation that are revealed, the study highlights innovative methodological approaches to sociophonetic variation and contributes to a better general understanding of the status and function of Scottish Standard English. The book will be of general interest to sociolinguists and sociophoneticians, and of particular interest to researchers or students concerned with phonetic or phonological aspects of Scottish English.

Download or read book A Gaelic Alphabet written by George McLennan and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern Gaelic alphabet has 18 letters - Gaelic simply needs a smaller alphabet to make its sounds. To pronounce Gaelic words correctly you need to know what the sounds of the letters are, particularly the sounds of combinations of letters. Using his knowledge of the conventions of the language and not a little humour, George McLennan offers a straightforward guide to the Gaelic alphabet. Placenames and surnames are used to illustrate particular pronunciations, in the expectation that most people will be familiar with them. Each letter is discussed separately. Combinations of consonants, eg chd, are dealt with or referred to under the first letter. The vowels are then done in alphabetical order as are groups of vowels. Like its sucessful campanion volume Scots Gaelic an introduction to the basics, A Gaelic Alphabet will be of great help to learners and speakers of the language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book primarily provides a detailed description and interpretation of one of the most fascinating and poorly understood processes in English accentology, i.e. Aitken’s Law, also known as the Scottish Vowel Length Rule by which vowel quantity in Scottish English is fully predictable, as opposed to the other regional accents of English speakers. The research also contributes to the understanding of the working of long-short vowel distinctions in the languages of the world and argues that all phenomena observed in connection with the presence and absence vowel quantity contrasts are a direct consequence of the working of a relatively small set of universal and inviolable principles of grammar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new 2023 edition includes an audio download link. Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland's population speak the language. However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.
