Description

A new edition of the popular introductory text on the phonological structure of present-day English.

A clear and accessible introductory text on the phonological structure of the English language, English Phonetics and Phonology is an ideal text for those with no prior knowledge of the subject. This market-leading textbook teaches undergraduate students and non-native English speakers the fundamentals of articulatory phonetics and phonology in an engaging, easy-to-understand style.

Rigorously expanded to include new materials on first and second language acquisition of English phonetics and phonology, this third edition, English Phonetics and Phonology boasts two new chapters on first-language and second-language acquisition of English phonetics and phonology. By introducing topics such as the mental lexicon and the emergence of phonological rules and representations, and graphophonemic problems in L2 acquisition, these two new chapters have been added to afford greater flexibility for teachers and increased support for non-native English speakers. Expanded website content includes exercise-linked sound files.

  • Based on the author's 34 years of teaching English Phonetics and Phonology in the UK and France
  • Includes coverage of various accents in English and second-language acquisition
  • Hugely successful textbook for the introductory Phonetics course, now in its third edition
  • References and exercises across all chapters to guide students throughout the work
  • Provides access to companion website for additional learning tools, sound files, and instructor resources

English Phonetics and Phonology is an indispensable resource for undergraduate students in courses on Phonetics and Phonology with no prior knowledge of theoretical linguistics and non-native English speakers alike.

Reviews

"The book is well-structured starting with a brief and simple description of the English vowel and consonant systems and the acoustic features of the English sounds, and continuing with more complicated aspects such as rhythm, stress, and intonation. Another advantage of this textbook is that it allows readers to listen to speech material and respond to exercises in order to better familiarize themselves with the phenomena of each chapter; this material is found as an online database." - Dr Georgios P. Georgiou, RUDN University, Moscow for Linguist List, March 2020

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
