Teaching American English Pronunciation (Handbooks for Language Teachers)

This book is intended as both a textbook and a reference manual for teachers of English as a Second Language. While there are many other introductory phonetics textbooks on the market, none has been written specifically for the ESL teacher. This book attempts to fill this gap by providing an access­ible introduction to the fields of phonetics and phonology as they relate to second language learning.

Phonology: A cognitive grammar introduction (Cognitive Linguistics in Practice)

This textbook introduces the reader to the field of phonology, from allophones to faithfulness and exemplars. It assumes no prior knowledge of the field, and includes a brief review chapter on phonetics. It is written within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics, but covers a wide range of historical and contemporary theories, from the Prague School to Optimality Theory. While many examples are based on American and British English, there are also discussions of some aspects of French and German colloquial speech and phonological analysis problems from many other languages around the world.
