Summary

This book is the standard reference book on English pronunciation. First published in 1962, its scope and authority have never been rivaled. This fifth edition is the most comprehensively revised edition to date. The book's treatment of world Englishes, especially American English, has been expanded, increasing its international appeal. The content has been thoroughly revised and extended, in particular the sections on language teaching and the measurement of sounds. The reviser, Alan Cruttenden, is a well known phonetician who studied with Gimson at University College, London.
