Praise for the first edition:

Practical Phonetics and Phonology gathers together a far wider range of topics than other books on English phonetics. Many more accents of English are discussed, and we really learn about English as a world language. Experienced teachers of English and beginning students will all profit from this book.

Peter Ladefoged, University of California, Los Angeles , USA

Praise for the third edition:

This is a book that I have used in teaching with great success. I am delighted to welcome this new and extended edition.

John Wells, Emeritus Professor of Phonetics, University College London, UK

The book is carefully planned, diligently structured and clearly written. The contents are up to date; they are geared to the needs of newcomers to phonetics and phonology. There is a strong emphasis on the practical side: the readers understanding is tested repeatedly throughout the book with more than 120 activities. Many sound samples are provided for close listening and analysis. A highly recommendable book!

Petr Rsel, University of Mainz, Germany

Praise for the fourth edition:

This book cleverly combines the details of English phonetics with a first look at sounds in other languages. Its real strengths are the exercises provided at every step of the way and its brief but unequalled survey of accents of English (using recordings on the companion website). It will remain the best all-round introduction to phonetics.

Alan Cruttenden, The University of Oxford , UK

This classic text just keeps getting better. It is one of very few books that I keep constantly at my side as I author my own materials. It is rich in information, clearly written and easy to read. Most importantly, it is accompanied by audio recordings which exemplify the points made.
