The second edition of the popular English Phonetics and Phonology textbook has been extensively updated and expanded to offer greater flexibility for teachers and increased support for non-native speakers studying the sound systems of English. This ideal introduction to the study of the sound systems of English is designed for those with no previous knowledge of the subject. It features a completely new chapter on the relationship between English spelling and pronunciation, extended coverage of intonation, and extensive revisions to sections on rhythm, word stress, intonation and varieties of English worldwide, and includes invaluable chapter-by-chapter exercises, linked to sound files available on the accompanying website.
