英美语音对比研究

The Comparative Study between British and American Pronunciation

以英美公认的标准发音,即标准英式发音和标准美式发音作为比较的对象,从音位、音位变体、词重音、句重音、语调、音质等方面,论述了两者在语音层面上的差异。了解这些差异有助于学习者掌握纯正的英式发音或美式发音,避免混杂的既非英式又非美式的发音。

Pronunciation differences have been discussed between American English and British English based on the GA and the GB in terms of the phonemic inventories;allophonic variation;pronunciation of common words;word stress;sentence stress;intonation;and overall sound and voice quality.Understanding the variations and differences between the two dialects will help learners master either standard American or British pronunciation.
