Pronouncing English

analysis of all the lexical entries of an entire dictionary, Pronouncing English is complemented by a list of symbols and a glossary. Richard Teschner and M. Stanley Whitley present an improved description of English pronunciation and conclude each chapter with suggestions on how to do a better job of teaching it. An appendix with a brief introduction to acoustic phonetics -- the basis for the perception vs. the production of sounds -- is also included. Revolutionary in its field, Pronouncing English declares that virtually all aspects of English pronunciation -- from the vowel system to the articulation of syllables, words, and sentences -- are determined by the presence or absence of stress. The accompanying CD-ROM carries audio recordings of many of the volume's exercises, more than 100 text and sound files, and data files on which the statistical observations were based.
