This book provides a basic introduction to the fundamental concepts on phonetics and phonology, the foundation of most courses in linguistics. The reader is introduced first to articulatory and acoustic phonetics, and then follows a smooth progression in sections on phonology. The book highlights throughout the links between the two subjects and each chapter ends with a set of exercises and suggestions for further reading. The primary source of data is from both General American and Received Pronunciation.
