This book reviews current theories of the sound-structure of words and syllables. Dr. Coleman presents technical arguments showing that the contemporary theories are too complex and that a simpler theory, Declarative Phonology, is adequate. This theory is exemplified with detailed accounts of the sound-structure of words and syllables in English and Japanese.
Offering a lively and communicative approach to increasing pronunciation and speaking skills, Well Said improves students' speech intelligibility and confidence in communicating in social, academic, business, and professional settings.
Students practice the most common challenges in sound/spelling patterns, syllables, word endings, linking, stress, rhythm, and intonation.
