Of course, one finds differences between such speakers - individual broadcasters all have their own personal characteristics, and an increasing number of broadcasters with Scottish, Welsh and Irish accents are employed. However, the accent described here is typical of broadcasters with an English accent, and there is a useful degree of consistency in the broadcast speech of these speakers. Their speech does not carry for most people the connotations of high social class and privilege that PSP and RP have had in the past. An additional advantage in concentrating on the accent speakers employed by the

Introduction

Triphthongs create some problems. These threevowel sequences are generally held to be composed of one of the diphthongs /ei, ai, di, 9U, au/ plus a schwa (e.g. 'layer' /leiaV; 'fire' /faiaV). In British English many of these triphthongs are pronounced with such slight movement in vowel quality that it is difficult for foreign learners to recognise them; for example, the name 'Ireland' which is generally transcribed /'aia.bnd/, frequently has an initial syllable which sounds virtually indistinguishable from /a:/. It seems reasonable in this case to treat these sounds as being monosyllabic (e.g. the word 'fire' is a single syllable), but in other words and names transcribed with the same symbols it seems (f)

few comments on individual vowels and vowel symbols are needed. The pronunciation of any language is constantly changing, and a dictionary such as this one should reflect such changes. However, there is a general reluctance among users of phonemic transcription to change the symbols used too frequently, as

as

having lax vowels, tense vowels, and wide diphthongs. Generally speaking, lax vowels are lower and made with less oral tension; they do not usually end syllables. Vowel length in American English is generally considered to be conditioned by phonological environment, so the long/short distinction described for BBC English is not usually present, though we have retained the length mark on the tense vowels /ii a: o: 3: u:/ in order ,

mark their relationship to the English long vowels. Since the diphthongal movement in /ei/ and /ou/ is small in American pronunciation, these are treated as tense vowels. Vowels preceding Ixl are notably influenced by rhotic colouring. Word spellings such as 'bird', 'word', 'curd', 'earth', 'jerk', which now rhyme with 1 2^ I in American English, at one time in history had differing vowels. The retroflexed vowels 1 2^1 and /a^/, stressed and unstressed, are to

Plosives:

There is an issue in the symbolization of the diphthong in the word "home". This has for many years been represented as /au/, but in earlier editions of this and others of Jones' works the symbolization /ou/ indicated a rounded initial vowel. This is still the preferred transcription for the

American English diphthong. In order

preserve compatibility with other works,

chosen to use /au/ for American.

Approximants:

These consonants can be arranged in table form as shown below. The layout of the symbols follows the principle that, where there are two consonants which differ only in voicing, they are placed side by side with the voiceless one to the left.

BBC Certain types of consonant have a distinction such as that between HI and /d/; this is commonly

(e.g. 'hot', 'top',

'father'.

Pronouncing the letters CH The remainder, pronounced

The consonant digraph ch has three main pronunciations: /tj,

k/and /j"/. Before the

letter r,ch

is

always realised

often being

/tj/,are

more

long-established,

common everyday words {e.g.lunch,chew).

as /k/, e.g.:

In Christmas

anachronism

Occasionally, ch

/s'naek.rs.ni.z^m/

However, there

is

no

reliable

place

way of predicting whether ch

be pronounced as /tj k/ or /_[/

will

addition

/'krisf.mas/

the

British

Words from Scots ending ch may be pronounced /x/, but can also have the realisation

chap

/Ink, Idx/
