About the Book

Rhythm, intonation, exotic and familiar languages as well as computer-sythesized audio-communications, procedures in forensic linguistics, pronunciation lexicogrphy, language change and sociological aspects of speech such as English regional accents and dialects in Britain and other parts of the world. These are some of the subjects covered in these thirty-eight articles. They are a tribute in honour of Professor J. D. O'Connor, one of Britain's most greatly respected teachers and writers on phonetics. The international list of forty-five contributors, former students, colleagues and admirers, includes many world famous names. This volume on descriptive and experimental phonetics and phonology will not only be of interest to readers concerned with linguistics and phonetics but to those concerned with the teaching of English as a foreign language and readers in many other fields. With an invaluable up-to-date bibliography, no university library will be complete without it. Dr T Akamatsu, Michael Ashby, Dr John Baldwin, Dr Laurie Bauer, Dr A Butcher, Dr B A Connell, Dr Beverley Collins, Dr Mickolas Coupland, Dr Alan Cruttenden, Prof David Crystal, Dr Ellen Douglas-Cowie,
