English Phonetics and Pronunciation Practice provides a unique introduction to basic articulatory phonetics for students of English. Taking a practical approach, this book teaches the pronunciation of modern standard non-regional British English to intermediate and advanced learners worldwide.

Now fully updated and restructured, the more concise new edition:

• provides an up-to-date description of the pronunciation of modern British English;

• demonstrates the use of English consonants and vowels in a variety of contexts and in contrast with other sounds with which they may be confused;

• includes expanded theory sections for an improved balance of theory and practice;

• is supported by extensive online audio material.

Ideal for studying pronunciation in the classroom or for independent student practice, English Phonetics and Pronunciation Practice is essential reading for any student of pronunciation and phonetics.

Paul Carley has held posts at the University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht, and the universities of Bedfordshire and Leicester. He has been a regular lecturer on the UCL Summer Course in English Phonetics. Inger M. Mees is Associate Professor Emeritus at the Copenhagen Business School and a part-time lecturer at Copenhagen University. She has formerly held lectureships at the universities of Leiden and Copenhagen.
