English Phonetics and Phonology bridges the gap between simple pronunciation handbooks and technical phonetics and phonology textbooks. Its twenty chapters present the basic factual information and crucial theoretical issues in a concise, practical and readable way. The chapters are cross-referenced to the recordings which consist of practical exercises on two cassettes or CDs. At the end of each chapter there are notes giving information on further reading, discussion of difficult issues, written exercises and, where appropriate, suggestions for teachers.
Peter Roach has been teaching phonetics and English pronunciation for over 30 years and is the principal editor of Daniel Jones' English Pronouncing Dictionary, 16th edition. He is currently Professor of Phonetics at the University of Reading.
