"The first edition of this book in 2002 was innovative in recruiting a leading phonologist to present an engagingly-written introduction to the field of phonology that was actually pitched at an appropriate level for beginning undergraduates. Since that time much has changed in linguistics and in society, and this new edition of McMahon's classic textbook hits the mark with its incorporation of contemporary authentic examples of English usage, exercises with answer keys, a new section on the rapidly growing field of intonation studies, and expanded coverage of World Englishes.--Dr Bert Vaux, University of Cambridge The recommended reading for each chapter presents the interested student with material for further study, and the exercises provided are interesting, relevant and often thought provoking.-- ""Linguist List (praise for the 1st edition)"" All in all, An Introduction to English Phonology gives an excellent, concise overview of the subject and is a must for all teachers and students involved in the teaching of English in higher education.--Brian Mott, Universitat de Barcelona ""AEDEAN Nexus"""
