Designed for students of American English who want to improve their pronunciation and reduce their accents. Manual of American English Pronunciation presents an easy-to-follow, complete, and individualized guide. This package can be used with teacher guidance in ESL/EFL classes or as a self-study guide. Clifford H. Prator, Jr. and Betty Wallace Robinett, two world-famous linguists, have combined their considerable expertise and skill to design an Accent Inventory that comprehensively covers all aspects of American English Pronunciation. It is this Inventory that individualizes the text.

Pronouncing English is a textbook for teaching English phonetics and phonology, offering an original "stress-based" approach while incorporating all the standard course topics. Drawing on current linguistic theory, it uniquely analyzes prosody first, and then discusses its effects on pronunciation―emphasizing suprasegmental features such as meter, stress, and intonation, then the vowels and consonants themselves.

Improving Spoken English is a pronunciation program written for English as a second language (ESL) students and for their ESL teachers.

Written by two educators with vast experience in teaching phonology to beginning students, this text is designed for both classroom and independent use.

This volume consists of twenty-four papers on variation and language description which were originally presented at the First Annual Colloquium on New Ways of Analyzing Variation in English in 1972.
