British English Phonetic Transcription

Autor Paul Carley, Inger M. Mees
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2021
British English Phonetic Transcription provides an accessible introduction to phonemic, phonetic and intonational transcription with a focus on British English. Featuring exercises, revision tasks and recordings to help students gain hands-on practice, the book takes a learning-by-doing approach and ensures students gain practice using each new symbol or concept introduced before moving on to the next. Consisting of three parts, the book covers:
  • transcribing individual words, including consonants, vowels, primary stress, secondary stress, syllabic consonants and inflections;
  • transcribing phrases and sentences, including liaison, weak forms, elision and assimilation;
  • transcribing intonation, including the structure of English intonation and recognising pitch patterns.
Ideally suited as a standalone workbook or for use alongside American English Phonetic Transcription, British English Phonetic Transcription is key reading for undergraduate students of linguistics as well as anyone teaching or learning English as a foreign language.

Recenzii

"Clear, concise, and comprehensive. An ideal way to develop a confident command of this essential branch of phonetics."
David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Bangor, UK
"Dealing first with the consonant symbols already familiar to us from our traditional alphabet, then the additional consonant symbols required and those used for representing English vowels, this beautifully clear transcription course, written by two internationally acclaimed experts, provides abundant, carefully prepared practice material for committing sounds to paper. Guiding the user not only through the phonemic representation of single words and connected speech, but also including more detailed transcription for the more advanced learner, together with exercises for marking up intonation, this is a fully up-to-date treatment of British English pronunciation, including detailed comparisons with American English and, not least, an appendix on articulation."
Brian Mott, University of Barcelona, Spain
"Having leafed through this book you ask yourself how you managed to survive all these years without it, because you no longer have to design your own exercises or scrape them together from other sources. This book will develop, improve and consolidate transcription skills; this makes it a must-have book."
Petr Rösel, University of Mainz, Germany
"Mees and Carley draw on their considerable experience and expertise in teaching and learning English phonetic transcription to produce a step-by-step, clearly written text with a wealth of audio-supported practice activities which will be invaluable to students of English phonetics and linguistics. I predict this will become an essential resource."
Jane Setter, University of Reading, UK
