Walter Ripman

Beschreibung

Walter Ripman's "The Sounds of Spoken English" is a seminal work that meticulously explores the phonetics and phonology of English in its spoken form. Ripman employs a clear, analytical literary style, integrating both theoretical frameworks and practical applications to elucidate the nuances of English sound systems. His exploration is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century linguistics, marked by a growing interest in the relationship between spoken language and its written counterpart, revealing the often complex interplay of social and geographical factors that influence pronunciation. Walter Ripman, a prominent figure in the development of phonetics, was instrumental in advancing the understanding of English as a spoken language. His academic journey and interactions with leading phonologists of his time imbued him with a profound understanding of sound articulation. Ripman's commitment to bridging the gap between theory and practice reflects his belief in the significance of phonetics as a foundational aspect of linguistics and language teaching. "The Sounds of Spoken English" is essential reading for linguists, phoneticians, and educators alike. Ripman's insightful analyses provide readers with a deep appreciation of the intricacies of spoken English, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of language and communication.

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Vietnamese down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Vietnamese. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
In Unit 1 you will hear Vietnamese decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Vietnamese speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Vietnamese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Vietnamese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Vietnamese, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
