{"product_id":"english-after-rp-geoff-lindsey-9783030043568","title":"English After Rp: Standard British Pronunciation Today","description":"This book concisely describes ways in which today's standard British English speech differs from the upper-class accent of the last century, Received Pronunciation, which many now find old-fashioned or even comic. In doing so it provides a much-needed update to the existing RP-based descriptions by which the sound system of British English is still known to many around the world.\u003cbr\u003eThe book opens with an account of the rise and fall of RP, before turning to a systematic analysis of the phonetic developments between RP and contemporary Standard Southern British (SSB) in vowels, consonants, stress, connected speech and intonation. Topics covered include the anti-clockwise vowel shift, the use of glottal stops, 'intrusive r', vocal fry and Uptalk. It concludes with a Mini Dictionary of well over 100 words illustrating the changes described throughout the book, and provides a chart of updated IPA vowel symbols.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an essentialresource for anyone interested in British pronunciation and sound change, including academics in phonetics, phonology, applied linguistics and English language; trainers of English teachers; English teachers themselves; teachers of voice and accent coaches; and students in those areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoff Lindsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030043568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030043568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.37d","brand":"Geoff Lindsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989615051007,"sku":"9783030043568","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0eeab3e6-4164-4e1e-8ac7-4a002ad68999.jpg?v=1683300511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-after-rp-geoff-lindsey-9783030043568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
