This seventh edition has been revised throughout
with particular emphasis on those areas that have
seen rapid change in recent years. A new
Introduction gives an overview of phonetics,
examines the notion of a standard English accent
and outlines key concepts in the learning of
English as a first language and as an additional
language. All the central chapters have been
updated, notably by checking the
articulator}
figures against recent
MRI
scans.
This new edition considers the developing status
of English as an international language and
discusses the current debate about the idea of a
global pronunciation standard as an alternative to
Received Pronunciation and General American.
The layout of the book is now more
user-friendly with the use of text boxes to
summarise key information and an accompanying
website www.hodderplus.com/linguistics contains
exercises for learners; fMRI scans of English
phrases, including all the vowels and consonants;
and recordings by the author of part of the book.
Since its
hrst
publication Gimsons Pronunciation of
English has been the essential reference book for
anyone studying or teaching the phonetics of
English. It includes comprehensive coverage of

This seventh edition has been revised throughout
with particular emphasis on those areas that have
seen rapid change in recent years. A new
Introduction gives an overview of phonetics,
examines the notion of a standard English accent
and outlines key concepts in the learning of
English as a first language and as an additional
language. All the central chapters have been
updated, notably by checking the
articulator}'
figures against recent
MRI
scans.
This new edition considers the developing status
of English as an international language and
discusses the current debate about the idea of a
global pronunciation standard as an alternative to
Received Pronunciation and General American.
The layout of the book is now more
user-friendly with the use of text boxes to
summarise key information and an accompanying
website www.hodderplus.com/linguistics contains
exercises for learners; fMRI scans of English
phrases, including all the vowels and consonants;
and recordings by the author of part of the book.
Since its
hrst
publication Gimsons Pronunciation of
English has been the essential reference book for
anyone studying or teaching the phonetics of
English. It includes comprehensive coverage of
individual vowels and consonants together with
their variation and history, their articulation and
acoustics, their rhythm and intonation, and how
they develop in young children and foreign
learners. All this ensures that Gimson's
Pronunciation of English will remain universally
acknowledged as the standard description of
modern spoken English. |
