A First Course Of English Phonetics, Including An Explanation Of The Scope Of The Science Of Phonetics, The Theory Of Sounds, A Catalogue Of English ... Pronunciation, And Transcription Exercises - Softcover
Synopsis
A First Course of English Phonetics, by Harold E. Palmer, is a compact, practical masterclass in the sounds of English. Practical instruction for every learner. Plain in tone and exact in method, this english phonetics textbook sets out the scope of the science, explains the theory of sounds, and assembles a systematic english sound catalogue alongside clear articulation and pronunciation exercises and phonetic transcription practice. Readers encounter both explanation and hands-on tasks: progressive drills, transcription work and listening guidance designed to build confidence in British English pronunciation. Equally usable as a phonetics study guide for self-learners and a linguistics reference book for teachers, it doubles as teacher classroom material and a dependable language students resource. Palmer favours demonstration over abstraction: concepts are shown, rehearsed and applied. The exercises range from simple articulatory drills to graduated transcription work that sharpens ear and hand, giving immediate, practical steps to improvement. Born in the era of early 20th century linguistics, Palmer's approach blends scientific clarity with classroom-tested pedagogy; his methods helped shape the practical teaching of sound that followed. Casual readers curious about the mechanics of speech will find lucid explanation and tactile exercises; collectors of classic educational texts and anyone compiling a Harold E. Palmer collection will appreciate the book's historical resonance and material authenticity. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For students, teachers and collectors seeking an authoritative introduction to phonetics, this edition connects original scholarship with practical study and enduring relevance, making it a welcome bridge between scholarship and classroom. Its lucid pedagogy and careful exercises make it indispensable for newcomers and a prized item for collectors of early pedagogical works and libraries alike.
