English Phonetics and Phonology: An Introduction, 2nd Edition

Rigorously updated and expanded to include new materials on graphophonemics, this second edition of English Phonetics and Phonology remains an ideal introductory text to support students with no previous knowledge of the subject as well as non-native speakers of English.

The volume begins with an elementary introduction to articulatory phonetics, before exploring some of the main aspects of the phonological structure of present-day English. New to this edition is a chapter on the relationship between English spelling and pronunciation, and pre-existing chapters on rhythm, word stress, and varieties of English worldwide have been completely revised to offer a more extensive coverage for students. The book also includes an extended treatment of intonation. Additional features include the invaluable chapter-by-chapter exercises, and an accompanying website available at www.wiley.com/go/carrphonetics. The website features sound files linked to the exercises, and which illustrate varieties of English.
