"English Phonetics and Phonology" offers a thorough exploration of the sound system of the English language, blending both theoretical insights and practical applications. This book is structured to guide readers through the study of the articulation, classification, and transcription of speech sounds, while also addressing the systematic patterns and rules that govern their use in English. It combines phonetic analysis—the study of how sounds are produced and perceived—with phonological analysis, which examines how these sounds function within the language to convey meaning. Designed for both beginners and advanced students of linguistics, the book provides detailed explanations of key concepts such as consonants, vowels, stress patterns, rhythm, and intonation. Additionally, it introduces readers to variations in English pronunciation across different dialects and accents, highlighting the diversity within the English language.
