English Phonetics and Phonology: An Introduction is an introductory textbook on English phonetics and phonology, designed for learners without in-depth knowledge of the language's sound system. The second edition is updated and expanded, and includes enhanced content to support non-native English learners. The book first introduces the basic concepts of English phonetics, focusing on the articulation mechanism and characteristics of consonants and vowels. Next, it presents the principles of phonology, the English phonological system, and the structure of English syllables. Topics on rhythm and word stress are covered, along with the phenomena of inversion and reduction in English. A significant part of the book is dedicated to English intonation, helping learners understand how intonation features contribute to the structure and meaning of speech. The book also addresses the relationship between spelling and pronunciation through graphophonemics, the variations of English accents, and an overview of some English accent types. The content comprises 13 chapters, covering topics such as: English Phonetics: Consonants; English Phonetics: Vowels; The Phonemic Principle; English Phonemes; English Syllable Structure; Rhythm and Word Stress in English; Rhythm, Reversal, and Reduction; English Intonation; Grapho-phonemics: Spelling–Pronunciation Relations; Variation in English Accents; and An Outline of Some Accents of English. This material is suitable for English language students, linguists, English teachers, and learners who wish to systematically study English pronunciation, phonetics, and phonology.
