内容简介

This work provides a detailed account of word level pronunciation in England and Scotland between 1700 and 1900. The materials are presented in three chronological periods: 1700-1750, 1750-1800 and the nineteenth century, allowing readers to see the main characteristics of the pronunciation in each period, and also to compare developments from one period to another, thus identifying ongoing changes to the phonology.
