Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'This excellent introduction guides us lightly but firmly through the intricacies of English phonology. McCully is the master of metaphor; his refreshingly imaginative style makes learning about the sounds of English and their relation to contemporary phonological theory an exciting journey of discovery.' Donka Minkova, Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Los Angeles
