Pragmatics of International Intelligibility
The articulation of Malayalam coronal stops and nasals
The Dravidian language Malayalam has stops and nasals in seven places of articulation, but what is meant by a 'place of articulation' is not clear. Palatograms and linguograms, with simultaneous audio recordings, were taken of nine speakers and eight test words illustrating the four coronal stops and nasals in word-medial position. Results show that reference must be made to both the upper and lower articulators in describing the articulation of …
Intonation patterns in news broadcasts
The range of data investigated in the treatment of English Intonation has been rather too restricted, and emphasis has always been on the expressive or attitudinal function. Besides, the studies have often relied on data collected through isolated utterances and have rarely focused on genre-specific discourse, especially from nativized contexts. This paper investigates the importance of intonation in interactive professional communication, in an …

Co‐articulation and social acceptability
It has been asserted in the literature that allophonic variations are not only important for maintaining phonemic distinctions, but are also important for the purposes of social acceptability. This paper argues that the question of social acceptability and the concern for native‐like standards has been primarily viewed from the perspective of monolingual societies, and that social acceptability is not a linguistic issue; it has, rather, become an…
Varieties of English
Tense in Indian English: a Sociolinguistic Perspective. By Rama Kant Agnihotri, Amrit Lai Khanna and Aditi Mukherjee
Communication
The widespread use of the Daniel Jones’s English Pronouncing Dictionary in the commonwealth countries seems to imply that British Received Pronunciation (BRP) is the model of English prescribed for the learners of English in these countries. To my mind, this form of pronunciation represents an unrealistic objective and one that is perhaps undesirable . I consider RP as the ‘normative model’ that limits itself to the consideration of communicative…
Phonetic Implementation of Implosives
This article demonstrates that implosives in Sindhi involve ingressive airflow, unlike the implosives in Hausa. The immediate consequence of this fact is that the proposal that there are no true implosives, i.e., those that involve suction, must be rejected. It also raises the question whether implosives should be characterized in phonological theory as sounds involving suction, or as sounds involving the lowering of the larynx. Comparison of the…
Indian and British English
India's contact with the West has resulted in the distinctive vocabulary of Indian English. This easy to use dictionary contains many of the European words that have been Indianized, several of which no longer exist in British English. This is an essential handbook for all Indian speakers wishing to improve their English
Lip and jaw movements in the production of stops in Sindhi
From the time of the invention of alphabetic writing until the end of the nineteenth century, students of language unquestioningly accepted, the view that speech consisted of sequences of discrete sounds, strung together like the beads of a rosary. Speech has been traditionally looked at 'as consisting of segments, each one of which represents a phoneme, which are put together to build up speech.... Each segment is envisaged as a posture of the v…
