The ability to communicate in a new language depends on an understanding of the patterns and structures which hold that language together. Sounds, Syllables and Word Stress focuses on the key principles behind English pronunciation and fills an important gap in two major areas: it contains a thorough description of how English words - and larger units - are pronounced, with enough phonetic theory for an understanding of the basic principles; it addresses the complexity of English sounds (vowels and consonants) and their various spellings - often a source of serious confusion to learners. This book is written from an experienced non-native speaker's point of view and uses examples from everyday language. Its fresh approach to learning pronunciation will be particularly useful for teachers and second-language learners, and all those interested in improving their communication in spoken English.
