Abstract:

'English Accents and Dialects' is a unique introductory survey of the main
regional and social varieties of English spoken in the British Isles. The
authors discuss accent and dialect in the broader framework of language
variation, including phonetic, phonological, grammatical, lexical,
historical and stylistic differences. This is followed by a survey of the
speech of different areas of the British Isles. The CD, which accompanies
the book, consists of edited interviews (all transcribed in the book) with
speakers from each of the different areas.

The fourth edition has been expanded and updated to give substantial new
