Applied English Phonology covers the fundamental aspects of the English sound system including basic phonetic elements, phonemics, allophonic rules of English consonants and vowels, phonotactics, and stress and intonation. Applied English Phonology responds to the need for a practical and accessible source on applied phonology for students from applied linguistics, TESOL, and speech pathology programs who need to be well equipped in applied English phonology for the remedial teaching of English and/or accent reduction. The book covers the fundamental aspects of the English sound system including basic phonetic elements; phonemics; allophonic rules of English consonants and vowels; phonotactics; and stress and intonation. Unique features of the text include a chapter on the acoustics of English sounds, and short units presenting phonological data from ten languages in contrast with English to provide practitioners with invaluable insights into remediation. All chapters have extensive exercises to aid the reader in understanding and assimilating the material more effectively.An Answer Key is available for instructors at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/yavas.

Rezensionen
"Applied English Phonology is original and unique among books of its sort In addition to covering segmental phonetics, syllable structure, word stress and English intonation in a clear and accessible manner, it also incorporates an introduction to acoustic phonetics and to graphophonemics. I know of no other introduction to English phonetics and phonology which covers all of this A well-conceived, well-written and well-executed book." Linguistics
"A detailed description of English phonetics and phonology that can be easily understood by those with no prior training in linguistics. This volume provides excellent background information for teachers of ESL/EFL." Roy Major, Arizona State University
"Written in an accessible format, Applied English Phonology combines foundational information on phonetics and phonology with their relation to practical application. This volume makes an outstanding contribution to the field of applied phonology and will be a welcome addition to practitioners in a variety of professions." Brian Goldstein, Temple University
