Applied English Phonology covers the fundamental aspects of the English sound system including basic phonetic elements, phonemics, allophonic rules of English consonants and vowels, phonotactics, and stress and intonation. This work: fulfills the need for a practical and accessible source of applied English phonology for students from Applied Linguistics, TESOL, and Speech Pathology programs; includes a chapter on the acoustics of English sounds that provides practitioners with invaluable insights into remediation; and, contains extensive exercises to aid the reader in understanding and assimilating the material more effectively.
