Review:
"This book examines some of the ways in which linguists can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, the book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached. This book covers : the foundations of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, the basic principles of phonology, and an outline of some further issues within contemporary phonology. Varieties of English, particularly Received Pronunciation and General American, are the focus of consideration, but aspects of other languages are discussed as well. This new edition includes more discussion of Optimality Theory and a new glossary of terms. It has been updated throughout to take account of the latest developments in phonological theory, but without sacrificing the book's ease of use for beginners"-- back cover.
