The new edition of the leading textbook for English applied phonetics and phonology
"The fourth edition of Applied English Phonology continues to be a must-read for linguistics students, language practitioners (including ESL teachers and speech pathologists), and researchers in English phonology. Written in accessible language (like its predecessors), this new edition provides an in-depth (yet succinct) and up-to-date introduction to the phonological system of English, emphasizing the application of relevant concepts in the field to a variety of disciplines and professions. Applied English Phonology has been required reading in my phonology classes for over a decade!" Walcir Cardoso, Concordia University, Canada
"This comprehensive book on English phonology for applied linguistic audiences is notable for its extensive coverage. Not only are readers provided with in-depth information on phonological concepts such as segments, syllables, and stress, but they are also given a substantive introduction to phonetics, first and second language acquisition, and the relationship between spelling and phonemes. The main concepts are further enhanced by discussions of sounds produced in other languages and sociophonetic information about other varieties of English. Yavaş also makes special effort to demonstrate how this material is relevant to applied and clinical concerns. The breadth and inclusivity of the topics covered in this book as they relate to applied English phonology makes it stand out." Lisa Davidson, New York University, USA
