programme for the second level course U210, relating to Study Guide 2.
This programme is about accent - the British accent Received Pronunciation (RP). Although only spoken by a relatively small number of people, these people occupy powerful positions in English life and in the rest of the world. We look at the pronunciation features that characterize RP, at how people react to the RP accent and its speakers, and at how RP is changing.
Познавательная программа посвящена акцентам английского языка, а именно стандартному "Оксфордскому" английскому, которому нас учили в школе. Профессор Джон Уэллс (John Wells) рассуждает об основных отличиях "Оксфордского" английского, роли владеющих им людей, отношении к ним общества, а также об изменениях языка со временем.
