The book
that I am studying is English Phonetics and Phonology. It explains how English
is pronounced in the accent normally chosen as the standard for people learning
the English spoken in England. Also, this course presents the information in
the context of a general theory about speech sounds and how they are used in
language. Consequently, the course is organized into five sections. First,
notes on problems and further reading; in which you find out more about the
chapter. Second, notes for teachers; that describes how to use the book to
teach a class. Third, written exercises; that give you some practical works.
Fourth, audio exercises; it shows you how to practice relevant exercises.
Finally, additional exercises; that you can practice reviewing the book’s website.
On the other hand, phonemes and
other aspects of pronunciation should be studied carefully because of the
notoriously confusing nature of English spelling. Also, accents and dialects
must be taught with patience because languages are pronounced in different ways
by different kind of people.
In conclusion, this book related
with English Phonetics and Phonology will be useful to learn more about the
principles regulating the use of sounds in spoken English, particularly the
British English. Moreover, this course will have special attention with
phonemes, pronunciation, accents, and dialects.
