Книга: Crystal David «Sounds Appealing. The Passionate Story of English Pronunciation»
|
Серия: "-" It's not what you say, it's the way that you say it... So is it demonstrate or demonstrate? Advertise or advertise? Controversy or controversy? There have long been debates about pronunciation, and Britain's best-loved linguistic expert, David Crystal, is here to tell us why, and how, we pronounce words as we do. Outlining the different effects created by pronunciation and the delivery of speech - from Eliza Doolittle to Winston Churchill - Sounds Appealing examines how phonetics and pronunciation shape our identity. As entertaining as it is enlightening, both casual and committed linguists alike will be utterly intrigued by the peculiarities of pronunciation. Equipping his readers with a present and historical knowledge of phonetics and linguistics, David Crystal will have you delighting in the intricacies and eccentricities of spoken English.
