English Accents and Dialects by Arthur Hughes

English Accents and Dialects by Arthur Hughes

English Accents and Dialects provides a unique introductory guide to the regional and social varieties of English spoken in the UK and Ireland.

'This book really is a starWritten by people who really know how difficult it can be to pinpoint accents and dialects, this book provides maps and diagrams showing their locations, and differing phonological features of areas. The terminology is easily understood, so much so that it was a pleasure to read.' A reader from Essex (amazon.co.uk)
