A COURSE IN PHONETICS AND SPOKEN ENGLISH, Second Edition Second Edition, by J. SETHI (Author), P. V. DHAMIJA (Author)

A COURSE IN PHONETICS AND SPOKEN ENGLISH, Second Edition,

This much improved revised edition of the book devotes a new chapter to Assimilation, a section to Tones in relation to Attitudes, and highlights certain important aspects of pronunciation, such as rules of word accentuation.

Starting with general phonetics, the book goes on to give a brief functional account of general phonology and then a selective and yet fairly exhaustive description of the phonetics and phonology of English. It also provides a number of conversational passages in phonetic script as well as in ordinary spelling for practice in reading aloud. What sets this text apart is its novelty of approach and lucidity of treatment. English pronunciation is followed as per the "Received Pronunciation of England".

This text is specially designed for postgraduate students of English, undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics, and for those undergoing secondary and tertiary level teachers' training programmes in English.
