The Sound Structure of English: An Introduction
In this chapter we explore a system for thinking about, and then describing, English speech sounds. We will see that there are important differences between the usual written system of English and how the system of sounds is structured – so many differences, in fact, that the familiar written system of English could never be used as a transcription of either the structure that lies behind spe…

An Introduction to English Phonetics
Immediately I had agreed to write a book with the title ‘Introduction to the Phonetics of English’, I realised that describing the phonetics of ‘English’ is problematic because English is so phonetically heterogeneous. So the result is a book that is more about phonetics, with illus- trations from around the English-speaking world. It is not a complete description of any one variety;…

Speech Production and Perception
Until the middle of the 20th century phonetics was largely concerned with recording the sounds of languages and how they are made, together with making comparisons between the sound inventories of languages. We are still with that legacy in many ways. We compare surface events noted in one language with another, or note observations in spoken language and assign symbols with a system that …

Phonology and Language Use
The idea for this book and the perception that it was needed arose in the context of the community of researchers who investigate the way language use gives rise to grammar. Indeed, it was these workers in usage-based functionalism, most notably my long-time friend Sandy Thompson, who first supported and encouraged a book that would show how principles that had been successfully applied to the …
