Kategoria BISAC: Language Arts & Disciplines >> Linguistics - Phonetics & Phonology

Sociophonetics is one of the sub-branches of the discipline that has attracted a great deal of attention over the last decade. Recent advances in speech science and their technological simulations allow increasingly sophisticated studies of the progress of language contact and change. These studies, particularly those at the level of pronunciation, show that language variety is robust and socially embedded in interesting ways. Instrumental studies of language variety contact and change have focused on the role of social categories and attitudes in variety perception as well as production....

This volume presents the most recent developments in linguistics, specifically in the fields of language, discourse and translation studies. Distinguished linguistic subdisciplines covered include phonetics and phonology, morphology and syntax, historical linguistics, and more.

Das Studienbuch stellt auf hohem und doch allgemeinverstandlichem Niveau moderne Theorien der Phonologie dar.Es richtet sich hauptsachlich an Studierende der allgemeinen und germanistischen Linguistik im Grund- und Hauptstudium, eignet sich aber auch fur das Selbststudium.

Die elf Kapitel widmen sich jeweils einem Bereich der Phonologie; z. B. den phonetischen Grundlagen, distinktiven Merkmalen, der autosegmentalen Phonologie, Silbenphonologie, prosodischen Phonologie und der Optimalitatstheorie. Jedes Kapitel enthalt zur Vertiefung eine Reihe von Aufgaben.

This book is about learning the phrases and sentences and getting to grips with saying the language, without going into the grammar first. In that way you can have fun in learning how to say certain things and also you do not come up against stumbling blocks and frustrations.

The idea behind this thinking was because when I was a child my parents used to tell me words before they taught me how to do the alphabet, so I thought that was a better way round; get used to the language first.

I wrote this book to how I thought the student of the language could assimilate and understand it...

This volume addresses several claims about the two prominence patterns found in English nominal compounds in a rigorously empirical way. Listener proficiency to identify these patterns is investigated, and the acoustic properties that distinguish the patterns are identified. These properties are used to predict statistically the prominence pattern of any given compound. The book further analyzes the semantic and structural factors influencing the distribution of the prominence patterns, and addresses the extent of within- and across-speaker variability in English compound stress...
