Your success on the theory part of the final exam will relate
directly to your familiarity with the following list of terms in
Wells, J.C. Longman English Pronunciation Dictionary. Pearson, 2000
[1990]. ISBN 0-582-36467-1
For further examples and German definitions, it may be helpful to refer to
Herbst, Thomas; Stoll, Rita; Westermayr, Rudolf. Terminologie der
Sprachbeschreibung. Ein Lernwörterbuch für das Anglistikstudium 1.
Auflage. Ismaning: Hueber, 1991. ISBN 3-19-006604-3
Before complaining about my asking you to buy yet another book, please
read Mr. Wells's amusing note buried under A.4 on p. 699 under the
heading "short vowel, long vowel."
