Product Description
Book Description
First published in 1979, Hughes and Trudgill's English Accents and Dialects is still the only textbook on the social and regional varieties of English in the British Isles. New edition has been expanded and updated to include sections on Aberdeen, Galway and Leicester and a CD accompanies the book. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Now in its third edition, this is an introductory survey of the main regional and social varieties of English spoken in the British Isles. The authors discuss accent and dialect in the broader framework of language variation, including phonetic, phonological, grammatical, lexical, historical and stylistic differences. This is followed by a survey of the speech of 12 different areas of the British Isles. The third edition has been thoroughly revised, and includes a new chapter on "Received Pronunciation"(RP). After a general description of RP, the authors discuss various variations within RP, and consider some of the factors which account for this variation.
