(An accompanying cassette is available on request from the authors at a nominal charge). The workbook contains twenty-four English and Dutch passages in phonemic transcription. Keys are provided for fifteen dictated passages (recorded on the cassette). An additional fifty passages, printed in conventional orthography, are included (for which transcription keys are obtainable for recognised teachers on request). The book also includes fifteen allophonic descriptions of English words and phrases. These provide a useful exercise for students learning articulatory phonetics in relation to English. Transcripts are provided for twelve representative varieties of British and Irish English (which have been recorded on the accompanying cassette). The accents illustrated are: London (Cockney), Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, West Glamorgan, Southampton, Cardiff and Hartlepool. All the informants are authentic speakers of the variety concerned and the samples are overwhelmingly of genuine conversational language. This set of recordings is one of the best sources presently available for samples of accents of British English. Notes are supplied to accompany the section of the cassette recording which demonstrates the vowels and consonants of the International Phonetic Association's alphabet. A section is included with over 350 questions on phonetics, covering the material dealt with in the textbook The Phonetics of English and Dutch. These will be excellent as a means of testing knowledge, and also for exam preparation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52667130675473,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667131461905,"sku":"NLS9789004109100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004109100.jpg?v=1768562465"},{"product_id":"phonetics-of-english-and-dutch-book-beverley-collins-9789004132252","title":"The Phonetics of English and Dutch","description":"This book provides a complete introductory course on the phonetics of English and Dutch based on an essentially practical approach to the subject. No previous knowledge of phonetics is assumed and all terms are explained in straightforward English as they are introduced. Theoretical and practical aspects of the subject are clarified for the student by means of numerous self-study exercises in articulation and transcription. The book contains a detailed contrastive description of British RP English and of Dutch (in both the Netherlands and Belgian standard varieties). In addition to a full description of the individual vowels and consonants, full attention is paid to features of connected speech, e.g. intonation, assimilation and elision, stress and articulatory setting. There are sections on sound-spelling relationships in English and an analysis of the commonest pronunciations errors in the English of Dutch-speakers. A guide to the technique of phonemic transcription is also provided, with numerous transcription passages for which correction keys are available. One chapter is devoted to differences between British and American pronunciation. Another section provides a survey of a range of British regional accents (e.g. Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Northern, London, Midlands, West Country).  Now available with corrections incorporating the reactions of Dutch and Belgian users.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52681365455121,"sku":"NLS9789004132252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789004132252.jpg?v=1768563271"},{"product_id":"english-phonetics-book-beverley-collins-9780415590587","title":"English Phonetics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245040460049,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245041017105,"sku":"GOR014828195","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415590587.jpg?v=1773368617"},{"product_id":"english-phonetics-book-beverley-collins-9780415590594","title":"English Phonetics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245040558353,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245041049873,"sku":"GOR014828196","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415590594.jpg?v=1773368617"},{"product_id":"english-phonetics-book-beverley-collins-9780415590600","title":"English Phonetics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53252031774993,"sku":"GOR014834094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53253299110161,"sku":"GOR014835219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415590600.jpg?v=1773595163"},{"product_id":"english-phonetics-book-beverley-collins-9780415590563","title":"English Phonetics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53252031906065,"sku":"GOR014834097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53253299077393,"sku":"GOR014835220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415590563.jpg?v=1773595164"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-beverley-collins.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
