It's not what you say, it's the way that you say it ...There have long been debates about 'correct' pronunciation in the English language, and Britain's most distinguished linguistic expert, David Crystal, is here to set the record straight. Sounds Appealing tells us exactly why, and how, we pronounce words as we do.Pronunciation is integral to communication, and is tailored to meet the demands of the two main forces behind language: intelligibility and identity. Equipping his readers with knowledge of phonetics, linguistics and physiology - with examples ranging from Eliza Doolittle to Winston Churchill - David Crystal explores the origins of regional accents, how they are influenced by class and education, and how their peculiarities have changed over time.

Interroger les rapports entre langues, locuteurs et notions de pouvoir, non-pouvoir et contre-pouvoir est ambitieux. Ces rapports sont multiples et ces notions sont complexes. La collaboration entre le RFS – Réseau Francophone de Sociolinguistique –, l’UMR CNRS 6240 LISA et l’université de Corse, a permis de revenir sur ces thématiques. L’ouvrage s’articule en cinq parties pour autant de transversalités :1. Le sociolinguiste et le pouvoir politique, juridique et social2. Approche conceptuelle, théorique et critique du pouvoir langagier3. Enjeux de pouvoir du plurilinguisme4. La minoration et le pouvoir en questions5. Le pouvoir d’agirLeur objectif commun est d’explorer la manière dont, dans des espaces sociaux diversifiés, le langage en tant que pratiques, discours et idéologie, constitue un instrument de pouvoirs, de non-pouvoirs et de contre-pouvoirs. Les auteurs cherchent avant tout à comprendre les processus sociaux qui font du langage un terrain de lutte, de consensus ou de construction de la différence
