I checked out from the library Rachael-Anne Knight's book Phonetics, published in 2012 by CUP. Judging from a very cursory flip through the book, I think, it should rather have been called English Phonetics.

ReplyDeleteGood! Any comments, impressions you'd like to share with us either here or in your own blog?
DeleteI think one of the best things about this book is that it has a lot of review questions and exercises for practising the subject of (English) phonetics in a very "interactive" way.
Delete@Alex: I've started giving the book a closer look, and it was exactly the same impression I gained - the best feature is the exercise and review section of each chapter.
