Contemporary American English phonetics, phonology, morphology
View through CrossRef
This book was written for my students and for anyone who is interested in American English. It is meant to get students acquainted with the fascinating areas of phonetics, phonology and morphology. The book is structured into five chapters. The first one introduces students to the factors that have contributed to the emergence and development of American English. In the second chapter students get acquainted with different concepts used in linguistics: word, lexeme, function word, lexical word, parts of a sentence and English as an SVO language, and they discover the difference between language, linguistics and grammar. The subsequent chapters tackle three branches of linguistics: phonetics, phonology and morphology. Some of the most important aspects are highlighted and presented in what I hope is an accessible and easyto-understand way. Each chapter is followed by some 'study questions' meant to check the theoretical aspects discussed.
