Von der hinteren Coverseite

Describing Spoken English provides a practical and descriptive introduction to the pronunciation of contemporary English. It requires no prior knowledge of phonetics or phonology. Charles W. Kreidler examines the main varieties of English in the world today. He focuses on the elements common to all native-speaker varieties of English and presents the differences as minor variations on a theme. Each topic is presented in an accessible, jargon-free style. Chapters are clearly structured, with summaries, bibliographies, and exercises to encourage active participation. This textbook will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of English language and linguistics.
