Several researchers at the Department of Linguistics focus on a range of different types of phonetic and phonological research, including fieldwork, corpus data analysis, experimental phonetics, and articulatory methods. English phonology is the system of speech sounds used in spoken English. Like many other languages, English has wide variation in pronunciation, both historically and from dialect to dialect. In general, however, the regional dialects of English share a largely similar (but not identical) phonological system. Among other things, most dialects have vowel reduction in unstressed syllables and a complex set of phonological features that distinguish fortis and lenis consonants (stops, affricates, and fricatives). This new edition takes into account recent developments in the teaching of phonology. It is designed to be read from beginning to end, and is therefore different from a reference book"-- Back cover. 0aEnglish languagexPhonetics. 0aEnglish languagexPhonology. 0aPhonetics. 0aGrammar, Comparative and generalxPhonology.  2ddcn0cBKiK960ue23h414kCIRm2025  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcCIRd2026-10-20l0oCIR 414 K960u 2025p032738r2026-10-20 14:16:38t1-1w2026-10-20yBK  c33817d33817
