Synopsis
This book explores the evolution of English pronunciation through the lens of orthography. The author argues that spelling and pronunciation are inextricably linked and have a reciprocal influence on each other. It examines the historical development of English spelling and pronunciation from its Latin roots to the present day, tracing the changes that have shaped the language. The author challenges the prevailing notion that English spelling is chaotic and inconsistent, presenting evidence to support the idea that it is a highly structured and logical system. The book delves into the complexities of English pronunciation, exploring the nuances of vowel and consonant sounds, stress, and intonation. It also investigates the influence of regional dialects and social class on pronunciation. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between English spelling and pronunciation, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of language and its evolution.
