INTRODUCTION

RECEIVED
PRONUNCIATION


INRODUCTION RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION
Variously referred to as
the ‘Queen’s English’, ‘BBC
English’ or ‘Oxford English’
Received Pronunciation,
or RP for short, is the
accent usually described
as typically British.


INRODUCTION RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION
The phrase Received
Pronunciation was coined in
1869 by the linguist, A J Ellis,
but it only became a widely
used term to describe the
accent of the social elite
after the phonetician, Daniel
Jones, adopted it for the
second edition of the
English Pronouncing
Dictionary (1924).

Alexander John
Ellis

Daniel Jones

We can trace the origins of
RP back to the public
schools and universities of
19th-century Britain –
indeed Daniel Jones
initially used the term
Public School
Pronunciation to describe
this emerging, socially
exclusive accent.

sound.

•I saw a film today → I saw[r]a film today.
•Law and order → Law[r]and order.

Non-rhotic

Non-rhotic : of, relating to, having, or being
an accent or dialect in English in which an
/r/ sound is not retained before consonants
(as in pronouncing hard and cart) and at the
end of a word (as in pronouncing car and far)


DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RP AND GA

CHARACTERISTICS
OF COCKNEY
ACCENT


CHARACTERISTICS OF COCKNEY ACCENT
1. ‘th’
Cockney would replace voiceless ‘th’ /θ/ in words like ‘think’, ‘theatre’,
‘author’, with /f/, so they would be pronounced /fɪŋk/, /fɪəʔə/, /ɔ:fə/:
Similarly, voiced ‘th’ in ‘the’, ‘this’, and ‘Northern’, would be pronounced
/v/, so /və/, /vɪs/ and /nɔ:vən/

3. /æ/ replaced with /e/
Any word producing the front open /æ/ vowel would
be pronounced with mid-open /e/ instead:

2. Glottal Stops /ʔ/
Cockney speakers will use glottal stops to replace /t/ before
consonants and weak vowels

It is also common for a glottal stop to replace a /k/
before a consonant:

4. ‘h’ dropping
In cockney, you don’t pronounce /h/ at all. So ‘horrible’ is
/ɒrɪbəw/, ‘hospital’ is /ɒspɪʔəw/, ‘who’ is /uː/ and ‘help’ is
/ewp/.

COCKNEY
RHYMING SLANG


COCKNEY RHYMING SLANG
A highly distinctive feature of cockney, is its use of
rhyming words to communicate meanings. Some
examples are below

We had a bull and cow last night. (row)
Would you Adam and Eve it? (believe)
He’s on the dog and bone. (phone)
