This much improved revised edition of the book takes into account the needs of the student in the context of the present curricula followed in various universities and English language teaching institutes. This edition therefore devotes a new chapter to Assimilation, a section to Tones in relation to Attitudes, and highlights certain important aspects of pronunciation, such as rules of word accentuation.Starting with general phonetics, the book goes on to give a brief functional account of general phonology and then a selective and yet fairly exhaustive description of the phonetics and phonology of English. It also provides a number of conversational passages in phonetic script as well as in ordinary spelling for practice in reading aloud. What sets this text apart is its novelty of approach and lucidity of treatment. English pronunciation is followed as per the "Received Pronunciation of England". This text is specially designed for postgraduate students of English, undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics, and for those undergoing secondary and tertiary level teachers' training programmes in English.

Buku English Phonetics and Phonology for Indonesia ini dirancang sebagai buku teks untuk mahasiswa Strata 1 Jurusan Bahasa Inggris, baik mereka yang akan menjadi guru maupun yang tujuannya lain. Karena tingkatnya yang bersifat “pengantar”, buku ini sengaja tidak ditulis secara detail. Namun demikian dalam buku ini disajikan semua fonem segmental seperti vocal dan konsonan serta suprasegmental fonem seperti tekanan kata dan intonasi. Orientasi teoritisnya bersandar pada aliran generative. Karena bahasa natif memegang peran penting dalam penguasaan bunyi-bunyi Inggris, dalam buku ini disajikan satu bab khusus yang menggambarkan sistim bunyi bahasa kita, bahasa Indonesia. Bab ini dipakai sebagai rujukan untuk membandingkan bagaimana bunyi-bunyi bahasa Inggris dibuat dan pengaruh apa yang dimunculkan oleh bahasa natif kita. Buku ini didesain untuk satu semester. Dosen disarankan untuk menjelaskan konsep-konsep yang ada pada tiap bab. Untuk benar-benar memahami buku ini, pada akhir bab disajikan latihan untuk menerapkan konsep-konsep yang dibahas dalam bab masing-masing.
