| adam_text | How do you pronounce omega, tortoise
and sloth?
-
and why
?
Do charted and
chartered sound the same? Howdo people
pronounce the names Charon, Punjab
and Sexwale?
In this engaging book, John Wells,
a world-renowned phonetician and
phonologist, explores these questions
and others.
Each chapter consists of carefully selected
entries from Wells s acclaimed phonetics
blog, on which he regularly posted on a
range of current and widely researched
topics such as pronunciation, teaching,
intonation, spelling and accents.
Based on sound scholarship and full of
fascinating facts about the pronunciation
of Welsh, Swedish, Czech, Zulu, Icelandic
and other languages, this book will appeal
to scholars and students in phonetics
and phonology, as well as general readers
wanting to know more about language.
Anyone interested in why a poster in
Antigua invited cruise ship visitors to
enjoy a game of porker, or what hymns can
tell us about pronunciation, should read
this book.
