Book excerpt: Phonetics is the scientific study of sounds used in language- how the sounds are produced, how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived. The Sounds of Language provides an accessible, general introduction to phonetics with a special emphasis on English. Focusing on the phonetics of English, the first section allows students to get an overall view of the subject. Two standard accents of English are presented- RP (Received Pronunciation), the standard accent of England, and GA (General American), the standard accent throughout much of North America. The discussion is arranged so that students can read only the RP or GA portions, if desired. Sixteen additional accents of English spoken around the world are also covered to provide students with wider international coverage. The author then moves on to introduce acoustics phonetics in an accessible manner for those without a science background. The last section of the book provides a detailed discussion of all aspects of speech with extensive examples from languages around the world. Containing student-friendly features such as extensive exercises for practising the sounds covered in each chapter; a glossary of technical terms; instructions on how to write phonetic symbols; the latest International Phonetic Alphabet chart and a detailed list of English consonantal variants, The Sounds of Language provides an excellent introduction to phonetics to students of linguistics and speech pathology and students of English as a second language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sounds of Standard English: With Some Notes on Accidence and Syntax Some twenty years ago an enterprising scientist spent some time in an African forest, securely housed in a cage and furnished with instruments to record the sounds uttered by such animals as might grow used enough to the intruder to forget their suspicion and to recommence their normal activities. These records were afterwards reproduced by a gramophone in a zoological garden in Europe where monkeys were confined, and the captives responded to the sounds made, now with gusts of merriment and now with cries of panic, making it clear that the simian language of the jungle was intelligible in other circles than that in which it was actually uttered. A dog, however, habitually domiciled in Lancashire and taken for a holiday to Devonshire, will for some little time be set upon by the Devon dogs. This maybe because the air and water of each county imparts to its animal life a distinctive smell; or it may be that the language of the domestic dog - which is known to have many more expressions than that of a prairie dog - is differentiated by geographical peculiarities. Be the case as it may with the other animals, men's language at any rate is, as we all know, in spite of conquest and courtship, of trade and travel, not everywhere uniform.

Download or read book English After RP written by Geoff Lindsey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concisely describes ways in which today's standard British English speech differs from the upper-class accent of the last century, Received Pronunciation, which many now find old-fashioned or even comic. In doing so it provides a much-needed update to the existing RP-based descriptions by which the sound system of British English is still known to many around the world. The book opens with an account of the rise and fall of RP, before turning to a systematic analysis of the phonetic developments between RP and contemporary Standard Southern British (SSB) in vowels, consonants, stress, connected speech and intonation. Topics covered include the anti-clockwise vowel shift, the use of glottal stops, 'intrusive r', vocal fry and Uptalk. It concludes with a Mini Dictionary of well over 100 words illustrating the changes described throughout the book, and provides a chart of updated IPA vowel symbols. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in British pronunciation and sound change, including academics in phonetics, phonology, applied linguistics and English language; trainers of English teachers; English teachers themselves; teachers of voice and accent coaches; and students in those areas.

Download or read book The Pronunciation of Standard English in America (Classic Reprint) written by George Philip Krapp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pronunciation of Standard English in America Whether one thinks this should or should not be so, it is a fact that most cultivated persons in America nowadays, and an increasing number in England, are more or less self-conscious about their speech. The present very general interest in the practical applications of the science of phonetics is one of the proofs of the truth of this statement. With our strange mingling of races, our widely separated but rapidly inter-communicating local units of population, our constantly shifting social boundaries between class and class, it is inevitable that, in America at least, such should be the case. When people become conscious of so familiar an activity as speech, it means that changes are taking place in it. The universal possession of all persons in the land, the rich and the poor, the learned and the unlearned, of farmer, artisan, laborer and merchant, speech is not only the great social solvent which makes the nation one, but also the readiest test by which such differences as exist are measured and known. And where these differences and distinctions arise out of a rapidly developing civilization, as in America, it is often extremely hard to determine their value. If we had but a single standard of speech, universally accepted and practiced, the task undertaken in this book would be easy, though obviously it would be unnecessary. But we have no standard beyond opinion, which in a democratic society must always be many-headed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dictionary of the British English Spelling System written by Greg Brooks and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Book excerpt: The text is designed for self-study of the grammar and pronunciation of standard oral North American English. It is not intended to replace learners' dialects but to provide alternative ways of speaking for appropriate situations. The book is divided into two main sections. The first outlines pronunciation differences between Standard English (SE) and other common dialects. This section is subdivided into chapters on consonant clusters, consonant sounds, vowel sounds, and common word pronunciation differences. The second section elaborates on grammatical differences. Each of these sections includes pronunciation drills, practice sentences, and a final exam. Appended materials consist of the answers to drills, samples of broadcast copy (news, sports, weather, commercial, and public service announcements) for practice, and notes and sources. An additional brief bibliography is included. (MSE)
