2.1 English pronunciation
2.1.1The concept of English pronunciation
Pronunciation was defined as “the act or result of producing the sounds of speech, including articulation, intonation, and rhythm” by McArthur (1992, p. 810). Like many languages, English has wide variation in pronunciation, both historically and from dialect to dialect. In general, however, the regional dialects of English share a largely similar (though not identical) phonological system. English pronunciation includes the segmental and suprasegmental features of the language. Segments are the sounds of the vowels and consonants known as phonemes. The suprasegmental aspects focus on intonation, stress, and timing.
