The varieties of English covered include Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American, as well as some features of Australian English, southern US varieties, and Scottish English. Drawing on shared characteristics between language and music, including metrical structure, the author suggests a different approach to linguistic analysis and the description of spoken language. The book introduces both students and instructors to a novel and engaging method of description, and provides a fresh vocabulary with which to start thinking about language. It demonstrates complex topics by using music as a fun and familiar starting point, and will be an ideal resource for introductory linguistics courses worldwide.English languageSocial aspectsLinguisticsSocial aspectsMusic and languagePopular musicSocial aspectsEnglish languageSocial aspects.LinguisticsSocial aspects.Music and language.Popular musicSocial aspects.420410Larroque Patrice1801-1879,521501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910725096703321An Introduction to Linguistics Through Popular Music3367002UNINA
