Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pronunciation of English by Foreigners: A Course of Lectures to the Students of Norham Hall, on the Physiology of Speech These lectures, under the title of "The Physiology of Speech," have formed part of the Courses for the Study of English in Oxford by Foreign Women Students in which an examination is held at the end of each term. I have often been asked by students to print them, and now do so in the hope that thereby their usefulness may be increased. However well a language may be learnt, those whose native tongue it is can almost always detect slight differences of pronunciation which constitute what is called a foreign accent. Frequently it is possible to tell what country the speaker comes from by the characteristics of this foreign accent. My opportunities of collecting material relating to this subject have been exceptionally good. After the lectures the students were taken in classes of twelve, where each in turn read from a book or went through the exercises described in the lecture, and any peculiarities of pronunciation were noted down from week to week, a separate sheet of the class-register being devoted to each student. These records, from 1900, when I began the system, until now, have been carefully collated and classified by towns, and the towns by districts, and districts by countries, and the results incorporated in this book.
