An Introduction to the Pronunciation of English

by A.C. Gimson

Revised to cover modern instrumental techniques, recent research and publications, current terminology, and changes in present-day Received Pronunciation (RP), this edition retains the characteristics that have made it a standard reference text on the pronunciation of British English. A new section on stylistic variation in RP has been added and there is clarification of various rules concerning connected-speech processes. The editor is a former pupil of A.C.Gimson. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.

Tohle je introduction asi tak jako Nastin ceske dialektologie je nastin (kdybyste tu knihu po nekom mrskli, bylo by z toho minimalne tezke ublizeni na zdravi). Tohle neni tlusta kniha, ale hutna je tedy dost. Prvni cast je vcelku rozumny uvod do fonetiky a fonologie, druha uz je ale detailni popis vsech fonemu a stress patterns anglictiny. A kdyz rikam detailni, tak tim myslim DETAILNI. Je-li vasim snem stat se fonologem, bude se vam to dost libit. Ja si gratujuju, ze se musim ucit jen tu prvni polovinu.
