Praise for the fifth edition:“This book offers a comprehensive overview of standard British and American English pronunciation, with detailed segmental and supra-segmental descriptions. Furthermore, it provides a concise overview of the various accent varieties. It is an invaluable resource for anyone engaged in the process of learning English.”Hiroshi Miura, Senshu University, JapanPraise for the fourth edition:“This book cleverly combines the details of English phonetics with a first look at sounds in other languages. Its real strengths are the exercises provided at every step of the way and its brief but unequalled survey of accents of English (using recordings on the companion website). It will remain the best all-round introduction to phonetics.”Alan Cruttenden, The University of Oxford, UK“This classic text just keeps getting better. It is one of very few books that I keep constantly at my side as I author my own materials. It is rich in information, clearly written and easy to read. Most importantly, it is accompanied by audio recordings which exemplify the points made.”Richard Cauldwell, Speech in Action
