4.0 out of 5 starsimpressive coverage of world languages; but needs audio snippets
By W Boudville HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on June 22, 2011
Format: Paperback
The editor has compiled a very impressively detailed compendium of analyses of speech patterns throughout much of the world. The many chapters look at various languages and describe the main sound structures. Standard notation of the linguist community is used to describe the sounds. Accompanied often by the map of the vowels of that language.

Most of the major languages are covered, with a slight emphasis on the European languages. English gets perhaps the most extensive discussion. With separate chapters on the American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Irish and Scottish variants, for instance. Given the dominance of American English in international commerce and culture (think Hollywood for the latter), the reader might find its chapter somewhat abbreviated. But it does describe the many regional accents of English inside the US.

In contrast, the chapter on Australian English mentions that it has little regional variation; a longstanding characteristic. Though a countervailing opinion is brought up, where it is suggested that some geographic factors might exist. Even so, these are far subtler than you would find by travelling the US or Britain itself. Fittingly perhaps, the Australian chapter is written by the editor, who I assume is Australian. Most interestingly, the chapter opines that Strine might be in flux, due to large immigration, and shifting to a more internationalised form.

The chapter also mentions that Strine is close to British English. When I was still living in Australia, I would have disputed this, being able to easily distinguish the two. Indeed, most Australians would agree, I imagine. Yet, after many years of living in the US, I would now agree with the author.Read more ›
