Synopsis

A.C. Gimson, Professor of Phonetics at University College London, 1966-83, was the most distinguished and influential phonetician of his day, who concentrated specifically on English speech. This collection of essays on the phonetics and phonology of English - written by linguists from all over the world - celebrates his life and work. The work is divided into five sections: prosody; phonology and phonetic description; accents of English and RP; other accents of English (focusing on those of non-native speakers); and phonostylistics. The chapters cover a wide range of topics and the contributors offer a variety of approaches, with the emphasis on data-based objectivity. This book should be of interest to advanced students and lecturers in English language, phonetics/phonology and general linguistics.
