My request for texts featuring phrase-level pronunciation guides did not
produce many responses.   Special thanks to Johannes Reese and Bill Wells.

According to Bill Wells< bill.wells at ucl.ac.uk >,  "When I taught TEFL in the
early 80's I found some excellent ( I thought) materials published by
Cambridge University Press, that covered connected speech. I think the
author was Colin Mortimer."

Colin Mortimer's book is still available from Cambridge.   The Cambridge
Press
website < www.cup.org > lists it as:

     Elements of Pronunciation
     Mortimer, Colin
     Intensive practice of aspects of English pronunciation is provided
     through a collection of witty
     dialogues that concentrate on stress timing, weak forms, contractions,
     consonant clusters and linking words.

The same web site also features:

     Better English Pronunciation
     O'Connor, J. D.
     A pronunciation manual for intermediate to advanced students of English
     using current
     phonetic transcription. The text treats each sound separately, and then
     then covers words
     in combination, as well as rhythm patterns and intonation.

     Clear Speech
     Pronunciation and Listening Comprehension in North American English
     Gilbert, Judy B.
     Clear Speech, 2nd Edition, is a revised and expanded edition of a
     highly successful and
     innovative pronunciation course for intermediate and advanced students
     of English. As in
     the first edition, the emphasis is on the "musical" aspects of English:
     rhythm, stress, and intonation.

A further web search turned up the following:

Heinle & Heinle < http://www.heinle.com >

     Pronouncing American English, 2/E
     Sounds, Stress, and Intonation, Second Edition
     Gertrude F. Orion

     Well Said
     Advanced English Pronunciation
     Linda Grant

I have not seen any of these books yet, so if anyone has further information
on any of them, I would be pleased to hear from you.
