Talking Proper: The Rise of Accent as Social Symbol

Autor Lynda Mugglestone
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2003
Talking Proper is a history of the rise and fall of the English accent as a badge of cultural, social, and class identity. Lynda Mugglestone traces the origins of the phenomenon in late eighteenth-century London, follows its history through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and charts its downfall during the era of New Labour. This is a witty, readable account of a fascinating subject, liberally spiced with quotations from English speech and writing over the past 250 years.

Recenzii

What Talking Proper does very well is to trace the process by which spoken Engish came to incorporate the view that a particular way of pronouncing it was superior to any other and should be recognised as the phonetic standard.
... a fascinating and authoritative insight into the rise (and fall?) of RP with a valuable, wide-ranging collection of well-researched data that is always clearly and carefully presented.
... there is a commendable effort to ensure that the phonetics is easily accessible to non-experts and so does not constitute a barrier for those with no specialist training in the field.
... much fascinating, carefully researched information about the development of a socially pre-eminent accent in Britain.
... includes an impressive array of quotes from a wide range of sources.
