Description

Basics of English Phonology is a comprehensive introductory textbook designed to provide students, teachers, and language practitioners with a clear and systematic understanding of the sound system of the English language. The book integrates the study of phonetics and phonology to explain how speech sounds are produced, organized, and interpreted in human communication. The book begins with the fundamental concepts of phonetics and phonology, including the physiology of speech production, the role of articulatory organs, and the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a tool for accurate phonetic transcription. It then offers detailed descriptions and classifications of English consonants, vowels, diphthongs, and syllable structures, enabling readers to analyze speech sounds in a precise and scientific manner.
