Working with the Phonetics of English and Dutch

By: Beverley Dr Collins,Inger M. Mees

Working with the Phonetics of English and Dutch is a workbook intended to be used in conjunction with The Phonetics of English and Dutch (Brill, 1996). (An accompanying cassette is available on request from the authors at a nominal charge). The workbook contains twenty-four English and Dutch passages in phonemic transcription. Keys are provided for fifteen dictated passages (recorded on the cassette). An additional fifty passages, printed in conventional orthography, are included (for which transcription keys are obtainable for recognised teachers on request). The book also includes fifteen allophonic descriptions of English words and phrases. These provide a useful exercise for students learning articulatory phonetics in relation to English. Transcripts are provided for twelve representative varieties of British and Irish English (which have been recorded on the accompanying cassette). The accents illustrated are: London (Cockney), Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, West Glamorgan, Southampton, Cardiff and Hartlepool. All the informants are authentic speakers of the variety concerned and the samples are overwhelmingly of genuine conversational language. This set of recordings is one of the best sources presently available for samples of accents of British English. Notes are supplied to accompany the section of the cassette recording which demonstrates the vowels and consonants of the International Phonetic Association's alphabet. A section is included with over 350 questions on phonetics, covering the material dealt with in the textbook The Phonetics of English and Dutch. These will be excellent as a means of testing knowledge, and also for exam preparation.

Working with the Sounds of English and Dutch

By: Beverley Dr Collins,Inger Mees

Working with the Sounds of English and Dutch is aimed at the Dutch-Speaking student who is taking Phonetics as a part of an advanced course in English at University or teacher training institute. No previous knowledge of phonetics is assumed. All technical points are explained in straightforward English as they are introduced, and theoretical and practical aspects of the subject are clarified for the student by means of practical exercises in articulation and transcription. The emphasis is on a contrastive approach throughout. The sound systems of standard English (Received Pronunciation) and standard Dutch (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands) are described in detail, with numerous helpful diagrams. Features of connected speech, for example, articulatory setting, stress, rhythm, assimilation and elision, are fully examined and a complete chapter is devoted to intonation in English and Dutch. A special attraction of the book are the sections on error analysis, which give a comprehensive treatment of pronunciation problem areas. Also included is a survey of the most important accents of the British Isles(Scots, Welsh, Irish, London, West Country etc.)

The Other Side of Truth

By: Beverley Naidoo

Will the truth harm them -- or save them? When Nigeria's corrupt military government kills their mother, twelve-year-old Sade and her brother Femi think their lives are over. Out of fear for their safety, their father, an outspoken journalist, decides to smuggle the children out of Nigeria and into London, where their uncle lives. But when they get to the cold and massive city, they find themselves lost and alone, with no one to trust and no idea when -- or if -- they will ever see their father again. The Other Side of Truth is a gripping adventure story about courage, family, and the power of truth.

Chain of Fire

By: Beverley Naidoo

The South African government is forcing Naledi an the other villagers to move to a new location: a "homeland" of iron huts and barren soil. And it seems that no one is willing to resist. No one, that is, except Naledi's friend Taolo, whose family has often spoken out against apartheid. Taolo gives Naledi the strength to fight, and with his help, she and her schoolmates organize an anti-removal march through the village. But the right of free expression is not a liberty granted to the young protesters, and the police instigate a reign of terror on the villagers. Naledi and Taolo's chain of fiery resistance cannot be broken, though. With each new crisis, it grows ever stronger and burns ever brighter.
