Book excerpt: Among the four skills of a language - listening, speaking, reading and writing, much magnitude is dedicated to writing and reading. Sporadically, a few minutes are spared to speaking and listening. It is ineluctably true that listening-speaking function plays a dynamic responsibility in verbal communication where de rigueur pronunciation is the venture for both the speaker and listener. Pronunciation is a paramount skill in any language because, successful communication possibly incomplete without proper pronunciation. In English, pronunciation is a substantial skill, it is as important as vocabulary and grammar for intelligible communication. But for ages, it has been one of the hard nuts to crack for many non-native speakers. Many learners and speakers feel that it is a very challenging skill to master.Though it was disregarded in the past, today learner's started understanding the significance of pronunciation. This attitude has emanated mainly due to globalization. English is a mandate skill and an important medium of communication in every industry and business. So, it is necessary to speak the language which is intelligible to everyone around the globe. The interlocutor comprehends the speaker not based on the words, but how effectively it is spoken. Every word is understood based on the tone or sound first than the word itself. Therefore, the tone must be appropriate for clear understanding, otherwise it may mainspring bewilderment and cause communication breakdown. Today, in this highly competitive English-speaking world, clarity in pronunciation is a demand for flawless communication. Although, English has twenty-six alphabet, it brings about forty-four phonemes (speech sounds). Every sound is personified by unique phonemic symbols; International Phonetic Alphabet. Therefore, words are pronounced based on the phonemic symbol. These symbols stand as a formula in order to pronounce words properly. So, one must learn and master the symbols and its sounds to speak perfect English. English is the universal language and everyone shares the same words, phrases and sentences to communicate each other. But when we speak to the native speakers and some ESL speakers struggle to understand us which is mainly due to the non-standard pronunciation of English words. Some of the primary and undeniable causes for this state is the lack of exposure on pronunciation skills.Most of us are not exposed to International Phonetic Alphabet starting from school till higher education. Only very few stresses the importance of proper pronunciation skills and the necessity for proper communication. Even today, majority of the English learners taught to pronounce words based on the spelling. Enough awareness on pronunciation skills is neglected to the ESL learners and speakers. This workbook is intended to enhance the ESL learners with the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols. This book will help them to master the phonetic symbols with examples. This exposure enable them to learn to pronounce English words appropriately. This book is designed for all level of learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines some of the ways in which linguists can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, the book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached. It begins with an examination of the foundations of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, moves on to the basic principles of phonology, and ends with an outline of some further issues within contemporary phonology. Varieties of English, particularly Received Pronunciation and General American, form the focus of consideration, but aspects of the phonetics and phonology of other languages are discussed as well. This new edition includes more discussion of Optimality Theory and a new glossary of terms. It has been updated throughout to take account of the latest developments in phonological theory, but without sacrificing the book's ease of use for beginners.

Book excerpt: 'Review from previous edition 'an introduction to general phonetics that integrates the articulatory and the acoustic aspects of the subject in a way that few other introductory works do; that gives a comprehensive view of the whole subject' -Kritikon LitterarumThis book is an introduction to practical phonetics, that is, to the description and classification of the sounds of speech. The book's unique approach leads readers to explore the entire range of human sounds by a series of introspective experiments carried out in their own vocal tracts. This highly practical exploration of the subject is informed throughout by recent research, particularly in the aerodynamics and acoustics of speech. The second edition, now part of the Oxford Textbooks in Linguistics series, has been updated throughout, and is now consistent with the revised International Phonetic Alphabet (1996).
