Receive Pronunciation

(RP)

Introduction of RP

• - Received pronunciation, or RP,

refers to an accent in English

regarded by many people as a

‘standard' accent It has also been called ‘the Queen's English' or ‘BBC English’

• - “Received” means that this

pronunciation is accepted, or

adopted by British society

• - It is widely for teaching English

as a foreign language

History of RP

- It was introduced in British public shools in the 19th century

- The concept of Received Pronunciation was

developed by Daniel Jones (1881–1967),

- After the phonetician Daniel Jones has used RP for the second edition of the “English pronouncing

dictionary (1924), it became an accent of social elite

=> RP became a synonym of high class, social

prestige, and superiority for its speaker

- Today, 2-3% of UK population speaks with RP: Kate Middelton, Emma Watson, etc

RP does not have yod-dropping (j) after /n/, /t/, /d/, /z/ and /θ/

new, tune, dune, resume

and enthusiasm are

pronounced /njuː/, /tjuːn/

, /djuːn/, /rɪˈzjuːm/ and /ɪ

nˈθjuːziæzm/ (RP)

new, tune, dune, resume

and enthusiasm are

pronounced /nuː/, /tuːn/, /duːn/, /rɪˈzuːm/ and /ɪnˈ θuːziæzm/ (GA)

RP is a non-rhotic accent, so /r/ does not occur unless followed
