Phonetic Transcription - From First Steps to Ear Transcription

Many students of English struggle with phonetic transcription. This textbook is intended as a companion for students from the start of their linguistic training up to graduate or postgraduate level when they may analyse and transcribe authentic speech. It provides background as well as practical information and gives tips on how to avoid common mistakes. More than 80 exercises relate to all levels of difficulty.
The second edition has been revised, partially updated and extended, with the key now being provided in the book for both British and American pronunciation for all relevant exercises.
