内容摘要 First published in 1990, this collection celebrates the life and work of Professor A. C. Gimson, four years after his untimely death in 1985. A. C. Gimson, Professor of Phonetics at University College London, 1966-83, was the most distinguished and influential phonetician of his day, concentrating specifically on English speech. This collection of essays on phonetics and phonology of English- written by linguists from all over the world – celebrates his life and work. The work is divided into five sections: prosody; phonology and phonetic description; accents of English and RP; other accents of English (focusing on those non-native speakers); and phonostylistics. The twenty-eight chapters cover a very wide range of topics and the contributors offer a stimulating variety of approaches, with the emphasis on data-based objectivity. Balancing description and theory with application, this volume provides a serious and coherent contribution to the academic study of English pronunciation.该合集首次出版于 1990 年,旨在纪念 AC Gimson 教授的一生和工作,距他于 1985 年英年早逝已经过去四年了。AC Gimson 于 1966-83 年担任伦敦大学学院语音学教授,是他所在时代*杰出和*有影响力的语音学家。一天,专门专注于英语演讲。这本关于英语语音学和音系学的论文集由来自世界各地的语言学家撰写,颂扬了他的生活和工作。作品分为五个部分:韵律;音韵学和语音描述;英语和 RP 口音;其他英语口音(重点关注非母语人士);和语音风格学。二十八章涵盖了非常广泛的主题,贡献者提供了各种令人兴奋的方法,重点是基于数据的客观性。本书平衡了描述、理论与应用,为英语发音的学术研究提供了严肃而连贯的贡献。
