Sinossi

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.

In this course you will find you will find a total of 1,400 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are organized by by topic and each contains a different number of words and sentences. The language level B2 is an intermediate level, so that most of the course is devoted to topics such as work, characteristics and activities, while while the topics like travel, leisure and family are covered to a lesser extent, as they have been covered more extensively in the previous parts of the course.
