These studies provide significant insights into linguistic varieties and their inter-relationship as a phonological system and into social differentiation as reflected in linguistic variety. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main part of the book is devoted to a presentation, in transcription, of the speech of informants from a number of localities and a discussion of the main phonological features exemplified thereby. An attempt was made to induce natural conversation rather than use direct question-and-answer techniques. Although the book cannot provide a comprehensive survey of the infinite variety of spoken British English, the material does come from a wide age range, both sexes, diverse geographical areas, and both urban and rural communities. It represents a major in-depth analysis that will interest phonologists and workers and students of sociolinguistics. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931618824343,"sku":"9781138909663","price":6142.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138909663.webp?v=1771615045","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/studies-in-the-phonology-of-colloquial-english-9781138909663","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
