English Phonetics and Phonology is an ideal introduction to the study of the sound systems of English, designed for those with no previous knowledge of the subject. Now in its second edition, it has been rigorously updated and expanded to reflect feedback from existing students and to increase support for non-native speakers of English. The volume begins with an elementary introduction to articulatory phonetics, before exploring some of the main aspects of the phonological structure of present-day English. New to this edition is a chapter on the relationship between English spelling and pronunciation, and pre-existing chapters on rhythm, word stress, and varieties of English worldwide have been completely revised to offer a more extensive coverage for students. The book also includes an extended treatment of intonation. Additional features include the invaluable chapter-by-chapter exercises, and an accompanying website available at www.wiley.com/go/carrphonetics. The website features sound files linked to the exercises, and which illustrate varieties of English.
