| book description |
Spoken English: The Basics offers a clear, non-jargonistic introduction to what the study of spoken English entails, ranging from its basic phonology and the grammar and vocabulary of speaking to the role of speaking in society. The book describes and illustrates how spoken English is used in a globalised and technology-led world, using data from a range of contexts. Key features of this book include: • An introduction to the basics of the study of phonology, accents, and dialects • Discussions of the role of AI and its educational and language teaching applications • Examples from British English data, but with reference to spoken data from other varieties of English including North American English, Indian English, Hong Kong English, South African English, Kenyan English, Irish English, Caribbean English, second language learners and expert non-native users Featuring a glossary of key terms, this book will be of interest to students of several sub-disciplines where spoken English is involved, including corpus linguistics, ESOL/ELT, sociolinguistics, education and literacy, lingua franca and World English, among others, where often a knowledge of the workings of spoken language is assumed.
