Description

Gimson's Pronunciation of English stands as the authoritative guide for learners and educators of English pronunciation since 1962. This eighth edition modernises the approach by prioritising General British (GB) as the principal accent rather than RP, with updated transcriptions reflecting contemporary pronunciation patterns. The edition features completely rewritten chapters examining the history of the English language and the emergence of standardised speech, including detailed justification for the shift to General British. An indispensable resource for advanced language students, teachers, and linguists seeking accurate, current guidance on English pronunciation conventions and their historical development.
