About this book

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, course: Phonetics and Phonology, language: English, abstract: This term paper aims to carve out the differences and similarities between the pronunciation of Received Pronunciation and General American by surveying Svartvik and Leech's quote: "...if we study the main standardized varieties of American English (AmE) and British English (BrE), we come to the conclusion that in pronunciation they are clearly different, but generally mutually intelligible". (Svartvik & Leech, 2006: 157). A close analysis will reveal to which extent one can agree with their statement.Firstly, general information about the two accents will be presented. Secondly, a comparison of RP and GA with regard to rhoticity, consonants, vowels, word stress and intonation examines phonological similarities and differences of both accents. A final conclusion sums up the findings with reference to the quote.
