Describing Spoken English by Charles W Kreidler

Describing Spoken English by Charles W Kreidler

Describing Spoken English provides a practical and descriptive introduction to the pronunciation of contemporary English. It presumes no prior knowledge of phonetics and phonology. Charles Kreidler describes the principal varieties of English in the world today. Whilst concentrating on the phonological elements they share, the author sets out specific differences as minor variations on a theme. Although theoretically orientated towards generative phonology, theory is minimal and the book is clear, comprehensive and accessible to undergraduate and postgraduate students of linguistics and English Language. Numerous exercises are included to encourage further study.

'This is an excellent introductory account of English phonetics and phonologyThe book is well written and well organized.' - Functions of Language

Charles W.Kreidler is Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University. His publications include The Dynamics of Language (1971) and The Pronunciation of English (1989).
