本書是全國外語教材編審委員會推薦出版的大學英語專業(yè)高年級教材。本教材比較充分地吸收采納吉姆森之后新一代學者的研究成果,也適當保留了吉姆森《英語發(fā)音導(dǎo)論》第3版的論述,幫助我國老中青年讀者觀察分析20世紀上半葉的瓊斯發(fā)音、20世紀下半葉的吉姆森發(fā)音和世紀之交的現(xiàn)代英語發(fā)音之間的演變進程。在術(shù)語方面,本書注意跟隨現(xiàn)代英語發(fā)音理論,有時棄舊從新。第一部分,語音學和音系學的基本概念及兩者之間的溶合原則。第二部分,講解普通型標準發(fā)音。
全國高校外語專業(yè)教材編審委員會推薦出版,四川大學重點資助教材,研究介紹現(xiàn)代英語“標準發(fā)音”語音語調(diào)及教學方法,依照牛津、劍橋、朗文系列辭書所使用的《英語發(fā)音詞典》第15版注意,融合語音與音系學理論,改進英語語音語調(diào)教學。
