English Phonetics and Phonology is a textbook that provides a clear and accessible overview of the basic principles of speech sounds. This work focuses on the sound system of English and also includes comparisons with other languages to deepen knowledge of English phonetics. The book emphasizes the scientific aspects of consonants, vowels, stress, rhythm, and intonation.
Through practical assignments using Praat, the reader learns to analyze their own audio recordings and carry out simple measurements. The fourteen chapters are suitable for a one-session seminar, but they can also be used flexibly for a 10–12 week course in phonetics or linguistics. This reference work requires no prior knowledge and is therefore a valuable tool for university students who want to deepen their understanding of phonetics and phonology.
