文档介绍：Sound Patterns of Spoken English
Chapter 1 begins by noting that most people aren’t aware of
the sounds of language. This book is written by one of those
annoying people who listen not to what others say, but to
how they say it. I dedicate it to fellow sound anoraks and to
others interested in spoken language, with a hope that they
will find it useful.
