Book Description
We often see that people in India and some other regions speak in their way others fail to understand or hardly come to the sense of the speech. Why is this? The reason behind is that there is a lack of uniformity in pronunciation of their words. Well, one is not free to speak one’s own pronunciation. There must be uniformity in the matter of pronunciation of English words at least in a certain region. Keeping this in view, I made consistent efforts for several years to collect the rules concerned to add some uniformity to the subject. And based on the depth study of advanced dictionaries of international fame, I found out 41 rules of pronunciation which I assembled all them and composed of this book. Well, knowledge of English is regarded as an index of education, and the ability to speak English correctly is regarded as an index of good schooling. Without knowledge of English, the education of a literate person may seem to be interrogated. Now learning English is an ever-growing demand. And speaking English correctly is a social requirement as well. While we speak of spoken English, we are afraid of the correct pronunciation of the words coming to our tongue. To help readers learn pronunciation of English words, I made an intensive research; went through lots of dictionaries of international fame, found out some general rules, assembled all them and asked one to follow (illustrative not exhaustive). First, I would like to make it clear that sound and pronunciation are not the same things. Both are somewhat different things. The sound of a particular word depends on our lung, tongue, larynx and pharynx. It also depends upon climatic condition and geographical spheres. While human mechanism is capable of producing many sounds of a single word, the pronunciation of a particular word is fixed for all and included in almost all dictionaries of international fame. There exists no single form of pronunciation which alone can be regarded as correct. The pronunciation fixed by Prof. R. K. Bansal of the University of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad and Prof. A. C. Gimson of the University of London may differ from that of Collins Dictionary (Primitive/pristine). However, some general rules have been fixed for better learning. Table of Contents 1. Preface 2. Foreword 3. Introduction 4. A Piece of Research Work 5. Speak with Correct Pronunciation 6. Usefulness of Correct Pronunciation 7. English Sound and Spelling 8. Rules of Pronunciation (Rules 1-41) 9. Tips to Pronounce a Word Correctly

Book Description
This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Book Description
For word nerds and grammar geeks, a witty guide to the most commonly mispronounced words, along with their correct pronunciations and pithy forays into their fascinating etymologies and histories of use and misuse. With wit and good humor, this handy little book not only saves us from sticky linguistic situations but also provides fascinating cocktail-party-ready anecdotes. Entries reveal how to pronounce boatswain like an old salt on the deck of a ship, trompe l'oeil like a bona fide art expert, and haricot vert like a foodie, while arming us with the knowledge of why certain words are correctly pronounced the "slangy" way (they came about before dictionaries), what stalks of grain have to do with pronunciation, and more. With bonus sidebars like "How to Sound like a Seasoned Traveler" and "How to Sound Cultured," readers will be able to speak about foreign foods and places, fashion, philosophy, and literature with authority.
