ENGLISH PHONETICS Theory and Practices

This English Phonetics book in the form of summary and completed with exercises is designed for students of the English Department or any learners who want to study English phonetics. It is a six-month course, and it is hoped, may help the students to improve their speech as well as the future teachers to correct their students’ mistake in pronouncing English, so that in the next or future they will be able to practice, pronounce their English correctly. As English phonetics covers the production, transmission, and reception of speech sounds, this book only discuss the study of the production of speech sounds. It is based on Daniel Jones An Outline of English Phonetics as standard English Pronunciation and some American English intonation added by Kelly materials. The terminology is based on Jones’ book. The Materials are also taken partly from: Ann Baker, Gerald Kelly, A. Kusuma, Marianne Celce Murcia: all of them are professors of Phonetics, and partly from other references like website
