Applied English Phonology provides an accessible and authoritative introduction to the English sound system. This fourth edition has been fully updated with the latest research and references, offering clear explanations and numerous illustrative examples.
Detailed discussions cover fundamental concepts of applied English phonology, including phonetic elements, phonemics, consonants and vowels, stress and intonation, structural factors in second language phonology, and more. The book is designed for students and professionals in linguistics, education, communication sciences and disorders, with new material throughout.
New sections explore topics such as contracted forms, issues in consonant and vowel transcription conventions, and regional dialects of American English, including a chapter on typical phonological development, patterns of simplification, and disordered phonology.
