Abstract:
Here at last is a book which describes and explains in great detail
how Eng lish spelling works. It is therefore a must for anyone wishing
to understan d better the apparently chaotic orthographic system. It
will be of special interest for linguists, language and literacy
teachers, and designers of EF L textbooks and materials - and indeed
everyone who is or aims to be a lit erate English-speaker. An earlier,
unpublished version of this work has bee n described by Vivian Cook
(in Inside Language) as a useful and novel approach to spelling.The
author looks for regularities and shows the system to be neither
totally chaotic nor simple, but basically systematic despite its
complexity. He relates spelling to the phonology, and shows the
importance of syllable divi sion in spellings of vowels, which are
classified following orthographic cr iteria. Further topics discussed
include morphemic alternation, underlying forms, marking devices,
graphotactic constraints and etymological factors.Principles
underlying the orthography are postulated and illustrated in Part
One. In Part Two, partly inspired by generative linguistics, spelling
pat terns are described and formalised into various types of rules. An
Appendix lists and exemplifies all spellings of each sound.(also see
