Its authors were supremely well qualified for the task of writing such,a book. What they have produced is quite remarkable for its comprehensiveness and outstanding in its generous and ingenious provision of admirably executed tables and diagrams etc. It will be found to be very fully self-contained, but for any reader who may care to pursue the matters it discusses, the bibliographical information it supplies is full and scrupulous. This work is not only unrivalled as a textbook for the Spanish speaker but one of the best books written on the phonetics of English as a foreign language in any context. J, Windsor Lewis Department of Linguistics & Phonetics University of Leeds Preface This book aims at covering the English Phonetics syllabus which is generally taught in the first two or three years of University and Training College courses for EFL teachers, translators, interpreters, and anybody who aims at acquiring a near-native English pronunciation. It deals specifically with the problems faced by the Spanish speaker of either Latin America or Spain in learning thé.sound system of English. It also provides information on the sound systems of English and Spanish, indispensable to any teacher involved in EFL-teaching in Spanish- speaking countries. We are well aware that in writing this book we are venturing into an already well-provided field, since there already exist excellent introductions to Linguistics, books on General and English Phonetics, practice books containing pronunciation drills and exercises, and articles in journals on’ almost every possible aspect of language teaching. It is, however, seldom practical or possible to get university students to read up.on such topics from their original sources, since many of the better reference. books were not written with the EFL learner in mind, and are consequently too difficult for the uninitiated, first or second year student to tackle. We have, therefore, attempted to present a complete, basic course, in the hopes of realistically filling the needs of the Spanish and Latin American-teacher and student, and at the same time preparing the ground for more advanced and extensive reading. The theoretical framework of this book is based on the work of Prof. A. C. Gimson, Mr J. Windsor Lewis, and many others, to whom we are entirely indebted for the description of English Phonetics. The comparison with Spanish is based mainly on our own observation and experience, and all errors. and weaknesses in this respect are our entire responsibility. We wish to acknowledge the help that innumerable colleagues and students have unwittingly given us over the years. Special thanks are due to J. Windsor Lewis and Marion Shirt (University of Leeds), David Powell (Universidad Nacional de Tucum4n), and George Lewis (Universidad Nacional de La Plata), for laboriously reading and commenting on the entire manuscript; Gillian Brown (University of Edinburgh) and Hersilia Alvarez (Universidad de Concepcién) for their advice on chapters eight and eleven respectively, and Oriel: Villagarcia (Buenos Aires) for his invaluable moral support.
