This revised edition incorporates the final results of Daniel Jones'
lifelong study of English pronunciation usage. It is the standard work
on English phonetics. The Pronunciation of English was written
originally as a detailed description of the phonetics of English,
presented from the point of view of the native English-speaking student.
Since the book provided key information needed by foreign students, it
soon established itself as a standard textbook in universities where
English was spoken as a foreign language. Most of the book is devoted to
a descriptive account of English pronunciation. This is followed by
illustrative texts in phonetic transcription of Received Pronunciation
and several regional varieties, Scottish and American pronunciation and
reconstructions of Shakespearian and Chaucerian speech.
