This comprehensive book on English phonology for applied linguistic audiences is notable for its extensive coverage. Not only are readers provided with in-depth information on phonological concepts such as segments, syllables, and stress, but they are also given a substantive introduction to phonetics, first and second language acquisition, and the relationship between spelling and phonemes. The main concepts are further enhanced by discussions of sounds produced in other languages and sociophonetic information about other varieties of English. Yavas also makes special effort to demonstrate how this material is relevant to applied and clinical concerns. The breadth and inclusivity of the topics covered in this book as they relate to applied English phonology makes it stand out.
