English Transcription Course

Overview

This manual introduces the basics of phonetic terminology, and gives extensive practice in transcribing texts involving the major phonological processes in modern English. It uses transcription systems, including features of English pronunciation which were treated as marginal (or substandard), but which are, in fact, becoming the norm for younger speakers. Model answers for all exercises are included in an appendix, and there are many original passages for transcription practice. The book should be suitable for use as a course text by an instructor, or for individual self-study.
