Since its first publication in 1962, Gimson’s Pronunciation of English has been the essential reference book for anyone studying or teaching the pronunciation of English. This eighth edition has been updated to describe General British (GB) as the principal accent, rather than RP, and the accompanying transcriptions have been brought into line with recent changes in pronunciation. This latest edition also includes completely rewritten chapters on the history of the language and the emergence of a standard, alongside a justification for the change from RP to GB. A further bonus to this important text is its extensive and attractive new Companion Website (www.routledge.com/cw/cruttenden), which now includes moment-by-moment commentaries on videos showing the articulation of all GB consonants and vowels in spoken phrases, as well as cross-referencing between the book and these videos. The Companion Website also includes new recordings of Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English, and features links to recordings of recent and current GB with comments and transcriptions. Comprehensive yet accessible, Gimson’s Pronunciation of English remains the indispensable reference book for anyone for anyone with an interest in English phonetics.

AMERICAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE - BOOK ONE - MORE THAN 800 SENTENCES WITH THEIR PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTIONS AND MUCH MORE!!!! Learning how American people express themselves in real-life conversation, relaxed and fluently, is far from Standard English. If you already speak some English, thinking about sounding more native-like is crucial. We invite you to see how Americans speak real English and finally see what they do that causes so many troubles for non-native speakers. All books in the series of AMERICAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE provide double phonetic representation (detailed sound information of words and sentences) based on the International Phonetic Alphabet and the Brazilian Portuguese Alphabet for our readers' convenience. Use these books as an unprecedented and innovative opportunity to sharpen your pronunciation and reduce your accent. The phonetic transcriptions are reliable and represent the English sounds consistently. For this reason, we hope that these books will be of great benefit for both Brazilian students and students from other countries as well. This series of AEPP books provide a modern, innovative, and comprehensive learning method with enjoyable reading and an enormous content of selected sentences and their "secrets." Our commitment is to explore those phrases and sentences in which native speakers and non-native speakers do not understand each other (especially those useful in real-life conversation). You will be surprised at how quickly these books can make a significant improvement in your studies. You will be able to build fluency with autonomy and accuracy. In fact, AEPP was designed to be a handy and useful tool in the English pronunciation learning process, perfect for self-study (independent study) and classroom activities. The series of AMERICAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE can really change the way you speak the English language.

This book concisely describes ways in which today's standard British English speech differs from the upper-class accent of the last century, Received Pronunciation, which many now find old-fashioned or even comic. In doing so it provides a much-needed update to the existing RP-based descriptions by which the sound system of British English is still known to many around the world. The book opens with an account of the rise and fall of RP, before turning to a systematic analysis of the phonetic developments between RP and contemporary Standard Southern British (SSB) in vowels, consonants, stress, connected speech and intonation. Topics covered include the anti-clockwise vowel shift, the use of glottal stops, 'intrusive r', vocal fry and Uptalk. It concludes with a Mini Dictionary of well over 100 words illustrating the changes described throughout the book, and provides a chart of updated IPA vowel symbols. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in British pronunciation and sound change, including academics in phonetics, phonology, applied linguistics and English language; trainers of English teachers; English teachers themselves; teachers of voice and accent coaches; and students in those areas.
