Phonetics and Phonology in Language Teaching
In the past, knowledge about pronunciation was often neglected in training language teachers, but in recent years, there has been a revival of interest in it. Indeed, it seems important for language teachers to gain a basic knowledge of phonetics, including the articulation of consonants and vowels as well as suprasegmental aspects such as stress and intonation, as pronunciation is vital for achieving a high level of intelligibility, even though …
Engaging Modern Brunei
Indigenous Languages and English in the Globalised Modern Era in Brunei Darussalam
This article considers two aspects of the linguistic situation in Brunei Darussalam in the globalised modern era: the situation with regard to minority indigenous languages: and the emergent status of Brunei English. Minority languages are threatened with extinction throughout the world and those in Brunei are no exception. There are seven officially recognised indigenous groups, each with its own language, though these are sometimes all claimed …
Intercultural communication in Asia
The chapters in this book are based on papers that were presented at the Third Macao International Forum in December 2014, and one of the stated goals of both the conference and the book is to move
The playfulness of ‘new’ Chinglish
Chinglish may mean different things to different people, but it has often been associated negatively with broken English that arises out of inappropriate direct translations from Chinese into English. In recent years, however, certain Chinglish expressions have developed a range of different functions, particularly in technology-mediated interactions among users of Chinese English, and this innovative usage is referred to as ‘new’ Chinglish. Ther…
Brunei Malay
Brunei Malay (ISO 639-3: kxd) is spoken in the Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam and also in some nearby places in East Malaysia such as Miri and Limbang in Sarawak (Asmah 2008: 65), on the island of Labuan (Jaludin 2003: 35) and around Beaufort in western Sabah (Saidatul 2003). Of the population of about 400,000 in Brunei, about two-thirds are native speakers of Brunei Malay (Clynes 2001), and the language is generally used as a lingua franca betwe…
Culture and Identity through English as a Lingua Franca

The Lingua Franca Core and Englishes in East and Southeast Asia
It has been argued, especially by Jenkins (2000, 2007), that it should not be the goal of learners to imitate speakers from the UK or USA. Instead, they should aim to achieve mutual intelligibility with other speakers of English as a Lingua Franca from around the world. This led her to propose the Lingua Franca Core, an inventory of pronunciation features that she suggests are necessary for maintaining intelligibility in international communicati…
The pronunciation of Brunei English
After briefly reviewing previous studies into the pronunciation of English in Brunei, this article provides an overview of the phonology of Brunei English. It considers rhoticity, the pronunciation of the TH sounds, the simplification of word‐final consonant clusters, devoicing of syllable‐final fricatives, the merging of vowels such as the trap and dress vowels as well as the absence of vowel length distinctions, the use of spelling pronunciatio…
The grammar of Brunei English
This article provides an overview of past and current studies on the grammar of Brunei English with a focus on prominent features that distinguish it from standardised varieties of English: the simplified use of tense; the flexible use of plural suffixes, especially on logically plural nouns; the variable occurrence of verbal suffixes; non‐standard use of modal verbs like will, would, can and could ; article usage; insertion of a preposition afte…

Pronunciation Models
Many nonlinguists imagine that a model of pronunciation which is upheld as the standard, promoted in schools, and is the focus of reference materials such as dictionaries, is somehow better than a regional variety, and that people who speak a nonstandard variety are lazy.
Pronunciation in World Englishes
There are a huge number of speakers of English around the world, and many of them use varieties of English that no longer look to the speech of people in places such as the UK and the USA for their norms. This article describes the pronunciation of World Englishes.

Standard Malay (Brunei)
Malay (Bahasa Melayu) is a member of the Malayic subgroup of the Austronesian language family. This subgroup includes languages like Gayo in Sumatra (Eades & Hajek 2006), Minangkabau in Sumatra, and Iban in Borneo, as well as many local dialects of Malay found in Borneo, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and eastern Indonesia (Adelaar 2005
Rhoticity in Brunei English
We might expect Brunei English to be non-rhotic, as the Englishes of both Singapore and Malaysia are non-rhotic and Brunei has strong ethnic, historical, economic and cultural ties with those two countries. The current study compares the R-colouring of read data from female undergraduates in Brunei and Singapore, and it finds that the Brunei data is substantially more rhotic than that of Singapore. It is suggested that this is for two reasons: th…
Emerging South-East Asian Englishes and intelligibility
An English lingua franca seems to be emerging in the ten ASEAN countries, and this paper investigates features of the pronunciation of this lingua franca. Twenty speakers, two from each of the ASEAN countries, were recorded while they were conversing in groups of three or four people, all from a different country. The speech that they used is analysed to identify shared features of pronunciation, especially to evaluate the effect that these featu…

The pronunciation of Hong Kong English
This paper provides a detailed description of the pronunciation of English by fifteen fourth-year undergraduates at the Hong Kong Institute of Education. First, the occurrence of American features of pronunciation is considered. Then there is an analysis of the pronunciation of initial TH, initial and final consonant clusters, L-vocalisation, conflation between initial [n] and [l], monophthong vowels, the vowels in FACE and GOAT, vowel reduction,…
The Formants of Monophthong Vowels in Standard Southern British English Pronunciation
The formants of the eleven monophthong vowels of Standard Southern British (SSB) pronunciation of English were measured for five male and five female BBC broadcasters whose speech was included in the MARSEC database. The measurements were made using linear-prediction-based formant tracks overlaid on digital spectrograms for an average of ten instances of each vowel for each speaker. These measurements were taken from connected speech, allowing co…
The pronunciation of English by speakers from China
Despite the large number of speakers of English in China, little previous work has been done to describe their pronunciation. Thirteen young speakers from north-east, east and central China were recorded reading a passage and participating in a short interview, and their pronunciation is analyzed. The most salient features of their speech include the use of an epenthetic vowel after word-final plosives especially before another word beginning wit…

The North Wind versus a Wolf
For many years, the passage 'The North Wind and the Sun' (NWS) has been used for phonetic research into different languages. However, there are many shortcomings with the passage for the description of varieties of English, including the absence of some sounds, such as /[zcy ]/ and syllable-initial /θ/, problems with the text for the measurement of rhythm, and issues regarding acoustic measurements of /æ/ and /I/. An alternative passage, 'The Boy…
The international intelligibility of Hong Kong English
This paper reports on an investigation into the international intelligibility of the English of educated Hong Kong speakers whose L1 is Cantonese. Samples of recordings of extended discourse obtained from three female and three male final-year English majors studying at the Hong Kong Institute of Education were played to groups of university students in Singapore and Australia. The listeners were asked to complete worksheets based on the recordin…
Listening to Estuary English in Singapore
In Singapore, many people are not familiar with Estuary English (EE), the variety of English becoming popular in much of southern England. In the current study, when students listened to interviews with EE speakers and were asked to transcribe orthographically what they heard, most of them had severe problems. Features of pronunciation that contributed to the difficulties included th-fronting, t-glottalling, and fronting of close back vowels, and…
The intonation of Singapore English
The segmental characteristics of the English spoken in Singapore are quite widely described (e.g. Tongue 1979, Platt and Weber 1980, Brown 1988a, Brown 1991). However, the suprasegmental aspects, such as intonation, are less well documented, even though it is widely accepted that it is the suprasegmental aspects that contribute most to the distinctive character of "foreign" accents such as that of Singapore (Brown 1991: 4
Emergent patterns in the vowels of Singapore English
In the past, the vowels of Singapore English (SgE) have often been described with reference to British English (BrE). However, certain idiosyncratic patterns are now emerging, and these often cannot be predicted by referring to any other varieties of English. The vowels in words such as egg , beg , poor , pure , won , one and the first syllable of absorb and abroad are investigated from the data of 38 speakers, and it is shown that a new standard…

An instrumental study of the monophthong vowels of Singapore English
The formants of the conversational vowels of five male and five female Singapore English (SgE) speakers are measured and compared with comparable measurements of British English (BrE) in order to gain a comprehensive view of the vowel space of Singaporean speakers and to determine which of the vowel distinctions of BrE are not maintained in SgE. It is found that the distinctions between /iː/ and /ɪ/ and also /e/ and /æ/ are not maintained in SgE,…
Norms for pronunciation in Southeast Asia
Some pronunciation features that are not found in Inner Circle varieties of English are shared by the Englishes of Singapore, the rest of ASEAN, and China, and in some cases they serve to distinguish pairs of words which are no longer differentiated by many speakers in Britain. As these features of pronunciation do not interfere with comprehension and in some cases they actually enhance intelligibility, they can be promoted as part of the standar…

Singapore English
Over the past few decades, Singapore English has been emerging as an independent variety of English with its own distinct style of pronunciation, grammar and word usage. This book provides an overview of this variety, including coverage of its pronunciation, including comparisons with the pronunciation of English in other countries in South-East Asia; its morphology and grammar; the words that are used, including instances where the meaning is di…
