Bücher von Heinz J. (University of Edinburgh) Giegerich

Heinz Giegerich investigates the way in which alternations in the sound patterns of words interact with the processes of word formation in a language. He develops a coherent theory of 'base-driven' stratification, which offers accounts of some central phenomena in the phonology of English.

This is an introduction to the phonology of present-day English, dealing with three varieties of English: 'General American', Southern British 'Received Pronunciation' and 'Scottish Standard English'.
