Practical English Phonetics and Phonology: A Resource Book for Students van Paul Carley, Inger M. Mees and Beverley Collins is an English-language study book about phonetics and phonology. The book covers basic principles and possible applications of pronunciation and sound systems in English and is suitable for students in higher education.
This practice-oriented study book covers parallel British and American English and offers a clear introduction to phonetics and phonology. It includes extensive explanations of phonemes, syllable structures, speech production, vowels, consonants, stress, intonation, and connected speech. In addition, it provides insight into the sound systems of six other languages, including Spanish, French, and Japanese.
The content features new exercises, diagrams, and an extensive glossary, supplemented by an up-to-date online companion with audio examples of 25 different accent variations and answers to the exercises. This makes it a practical and current reference work for language, linguistics, and English studies.
