Rezensionen

'Transcribing the Sound of English is a true labour of love, and the distillation of many years of teaching experience. The book achieves the perfect balance between depth of coverage [and] readability. It's fun to read, and I'd recommend it to any student and teacher of English phonetics and phonology.' Nicole Müller, University of Louisiana, Lafayette
