This book serves as an introductory textbook providing a systematic overview of English phonetics and phonology, focusing on the structure and characteristics of the English sound system. It covers the nature of language and speech, speech sounds, consonants, vowels and glides, syllables, stress, and phonotactics. The content extends to the study of consonant and vowel variation, the implications of phonotactics, English rhythm and intonation, word stress prediction, and the influence of prefixes, compounds, and phrases on stress patterns. The final section addresses phonological processes occurring in connected speech as well as those related to vocabulary. The book includes over 80 exercises to help learners apply phonetic and phonological concepts, and provides a glossary of technical terms, references, and an appendix on the impact of suffixes on word stress. It is a suitable resource for linguistics students, English teachers, English majors, and researchers of English pronunciation.
