I'm having computer problems and am running a bit late this week...
Materials will be posted later tonight or before class tomorrow morning. I will simply update this post rather than create a new one.
We will (hopefully) finish up the poems and look more into the differences between GAE and RP.
See y'all in class!
For this week we will...
Continue reading poems.
Here are the poems for group 1.
Here are the poems for group 2.
If you have not posted your poem yet then do so here.
And we will continue with transcription of GAE (and maybe some RP).
Also, there will be an important announcement!
See y'all in class!
First an apology!
My computer was trying to drive me crazy and all the poems that people posted since last Thursday (after class) were lost in a cut/copy incident... So, please repost by tomorrow by 9.00 and I will prepare the document for class.
Here are the poems for group 1
Here are the poems for group 2
We will continue with transcription fun and start reciting poems!
Remember, you may sit at your desk and read the poem as you recite it.
See y'all in class!
For this week, we will
Continue with transcription of GAE.
Talk about the poems you've chosen (we'll start those next week!)
If you haven't posted your poem yet then post it here.
Also, for some general information on British pronunciations.... I recommend watching these two videos.
This is about how some phonetic vowels symbols are used for British pronunciation.

This is about the decline of RP as a type of pronunciation people aspired to have.
