C. Gimson (2nd edition, Edward Arnold Ltd, London, 1970) for a complete description of the souncs represented by the phonetic symbols used in this book and for methods whereby they may be acquired or improved, and to Intonation of Colloguial English by J. D. O’Connor and G. F. Arnold @nd edition, Longman Group Ltd, London, 1973) fora more detailed explanation of the tone marks used in this book, their usage and the intonation system which underlies. them.INTRODUCTION TYPE AND STYLE OF PRONUNCIATION This book is intended primarily for the foreign student of English. It is designed to help the beginner towards a good pronunciation and to en- able the mere experienced student to improve the general standard of his performance in everyday conversation. The type of pronunciation dealt with here, often called Received ot Southern British, is widely used by educated speakers in England and though perhaps it predominates in the South of the country, it is not regarded as a regional dialect pronunciation. The style of pronunciation adopted in the transcribed versions of the connected texts is a colloquial one such as is commonly used in conversation between English people not particularly well known, to each other. Both type and style of pronunciation are thus well suited to the needs of the foreign student, RECORDING The ability to pronounce English in a way acceptable to English ears, can never be more than partly acquired from books. In addition the foreign learner must have access to a model pronunciation which he can imitate, To provide one such model the first three dialogues given in the section entitled Connected Texts have been recorded together with a representative selection of the material contained in the sections Vowel Drills and Consonant Drills, This recording, on a full-track tape (peed. 3} IPS, reel size 5"), is accompanied by a booklet setting out the selected drills; it ig published by the University of London Press Ltd., and can be obtained through any bookseller. PHONETIC SYMBOLS The following is a complete list of the phoretic symbols used thro ‘out this book to indicate pronunciation, Alongside each symbol are given ‘one or more illustrative key-words in both conventional orthography and phonetic transcription.

Note that, except for[ | ],{ ||] and [~}, all tone marks also signify that the syllable before which they occur is strongly stressed, The pitch features denoted by each tone mark are briefly described, and to make the pitch significance of the tone marks absolutely clear, the intonation of the illustrative examples is shown both by tone marks and on interlinear diagrams. In these diagrams 4, the top line represents a very high pitch: 2. the bottom line represents a very low pitch; . the stressed syllable of an important (accented) word is shownIntRopuction 9) by a loge dot, with or without an attached tine: for example, ere; 4. the stressed syllable of an unimportant (unaccented) word is shown by a small filled-in dot, namely «. ¢ All unstressed syllables are showa by a small open dot, namely 0. F. Allsyllables shown by @, +, or o have 2 level Pitch, Both mark the end of an intonation pattern and [|] coincides with a pause; for example 2a Ole On “Sunday | T stayed at Shome.|] All the syllables following this tone mark and preceding the next tone mark have the same, high level pitch; for example “vas amazed. This indicates a medium pitch falling to very low. All subsequent unmarked syllables and syllables marked [, ] have a very low level pitch; for example AS ENG a es Sie ine sY¥es, | did. || Peter .went. | Peter .made it. ‘This indicates a high pitch falling to very low. All subsequent un- marked syllables and syllables marked [, ] have a very low level pitch; for example ual Mnvaber alan “Yes. || “I did. || ‘Peter went. || ‘Peter .made it, I @. When [|] or [||] immediately follows, this indicates a medium pitch rising to high, then falling to very low;10 ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE ».

All subsequent syllables, both unmarked and marked [°], occurring before the following [| ] have the same mid leve! pitch; for example > Peter “went | on ‘Saturday ‘morning. | ‘This indicates a relatively high level pitch. Any unmarked syllables or syllables marked [°] which follow [*] have the same pitch as [']3 for example ‘Why didn’t you “ask him to “come and see ‘you? || This indicates a low level pitch.
