Abstract:

Most introductions to English phonetics and phonology focus primarily
on British or American English, which fails to account for the rich
diversity of English varieties globally. This book addresses this gap,
providing an overview of English phonetics and phonology through an
exploration of the sounds of English around the world, including older
varieties of English such as American, Canadian, British, and
Australian Englishes, as well as new varieties of English such as
Indian, Singaporean, Hong Kong, and Kenyan English. It focuses on
diversity in vowels and consonants, allophonic variation, and stress
and intonation patterns across regional, ethnic and social varieties
of English in North America, The Caribbean, Asia, Africa, Europe, and
Oceania. Listening exercises are incorporated throughout to facilitate
the understanding of different concepts, and the book also has an
accompanying website with a wide range of speech samples, allowing
readers to hear the phonetics of the varieties under discussion.
