Description: This book concisely describes ways in which today's standard British English speech differs from the upper - class accent of the last century Received Pronunciation which many now find old - fashioned or even comic. In doing so it provides a much - needed update to the existing RP - based descriptions by which the sound system of British English is still known to many around the world. The book opens with an account of the rise and fall of RP before turning to a systematic analysis of the phonetic developments between RP and contemporary Standard Southern British (SSB) in vowels consonants stress connected speech and intonation. Topics covered include the anti - clockwise vowel shift the use of glottal stops 'intrusive r' vocal fry and Uptalk. It concludes with a Mini Dictionary of well over 100 words illustrating the changes described throughout the book and provides a chart of updated IP a vowel symbols. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in British pronunciation and sound change including academics in phonetics phonology applied linguistics and English language; trainers of English teachers; English teachers themselves; teachers of voice and accent coaches; and students in those areas.
