Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the subject of English pronunciation, positioning it as an important aspect of correct speech. Initially, the book establishes the English language as one full of inconsistencies, with an abundance of unsubstantiated provincialisms. The author argues that it is up to the individual to follow the set rules, and while the book offers guidance on how to do this, it is presented in a dogmatic fashion, with the author admitting that this may not please everyone. The author presents views on how such inconsistencies arose, and points out that many of the inconsistencies found in the English language are due to words that have been taken from other languages, such as Latin. The book delves into the sounds and nuances of spoken English, and divides the language into two categories: broad sounds like aw (as in saw) and ow (as in cow), and their shorter variants, such as o (as in hot) and u (as in put), and gives practical examples of pronunciation for both. The book also analyses spelling and grammar, and their impact on how we speak, and delves into more complicated areas of pronunciation, including when and when not to add a 'y' sound after a consonant, and how to correctly pronounce words that come from other languages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528104609_0
