Abstract:

This book will serve to help learners transcribe the sounds of English by
means of the International Phonetic Alphabet and use phonetic transcriptions
of words in dictionaries. It will be of special interest to university
students of linguistics and phonetics, since transcription skills will give
them a clearer, more systematic picture of English pronunciation and spelling.
Because the book assumes no prior knowledge of phonetics, it can be used by
anyone looking to improve their pronunciation. In this regard, it will benefit
especially those readers who speak English as a foreign language. They will
find a rich collection of exercises focusing on a variety of pronunciation
phenomena. These exercises feature common fixed expressions such as spitting
image; thus, in addition to learning to use the transcription alphabet,
learners can also enrich their vocabularies. This handbook is designed for
work in the classroom, but thanks to its presentation of solutions and
explanations of relevant problems, it can also be used in individual study.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics
                     Phonology
