ENGLISH PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY
NOTES
ON CHAPTERS
These notes are intended to point
out other sources of information (particularly places on the internet) to readers of English
Phonetics and Phonology
and to add some notes of my own which could not be fitted into the book.
In the book, I have avoided
giving website addresses (URL’s) for two reasons: the first is that this would
make readers who do not have internet access feel that they are not properly
equipped to study the book. The other reason is that information about websites
goes out of date much more quickly than information about books and journal
papers; books can take years to update, but web pages can be updated in minutes.
I intend to update these pages
regularly, so I hope that they will grow in value.
