PRONUNCIATION

Trang 4Variously referred to as the ‘Queen’s English’, ‘BBC English’ or ‘Oxford English’ Received Pronunciation,
or RP for short, is the accent usually described
as typically British.
INRODUCTION RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION
Trang 5The phrase Received
Pronunciation was coined in
1869 by the linguist, A J Ellis,
but it only became a widely
used term to describe the
accent of the social elite
after the phonetician, Daniel
Jones, adopted it for the
second edition of the
English Pronouncing
Dictionary (1924)
We can trace the origins of
RP back to the public schools and universities of 19th-century Britain – indeed Daniel Jones initially used the term Public School Pronunciation to describe this emerging, socially exclusive accent

Trang 8DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RP AND GA
Trang 9Non-rhotic : of, relating to, having, or being
an accent or dialect in English in which an /r/ sound is not retained before consonants (as in pronouncing hard and cart) and at the end of a word (as in pronouncing car and far )
The intrusive R pronunciation happens between
two words, where the first word ends in a vowel
sound and the second word begins in a vowel
sound.
Non-rhotic Intrusive /r/

Trang 15CHARACTERISTICS
OF COCKNEY
ACCENT
Trang 16Cockney speakers will use glottal stops to replace /t/ before
consonants and weak vowels
Any word producing the front open /æ/ vowel would
be pronounced with mid-open /e/ instead:
3 /æ/ replaced with /e/
1 ‘th’ 2 Glottal Stops /ʔ/
In cockney, you don’t pronounce /h/ at all So ‘horrible’ is /ɒrɪbəw/, ‘hospital’ is /ɒspɪʔəw/, ‘who’ is /uː/ and ‘help’ is
/ewp/.
4 ‘h’ dropping
CHARACTERISTICS OF COCKNEY ACCENT
Cockney would replace voiceless ‘th’ /θ/ in words like ‘think’, ‘theatre’,
‘author’, with /f/, so they would be pronounced /fɪŋk/, /fɪəʔə/, /ɔ:fə/:
Similarly, voiced ‘th’ in ‘the’, ‘this’, and ‘Northern’, would be pronounced
before a consonant:
