This book offers a comprehensive resource on the state-of-the-art in
L2 pronunciation, surveying the most up-to-date theoretical and
methodological developments to highlight the multidimensional nature
of pronunciation scholarship and directions for future research. The
volume examines both speech perception and production, including the
perception-production link. The book explores production from a range
of perspectives, including acoustic analysis of specific features and
listener-based ratings of global dimensions of pronunciation. Each
chapter spotlights a different dimension of pronunciation through a
consistent structure, including a summary of the latest research, a
critical appraisal of methods, and an overview of data analysis
procedures with recommendations for practical implementation. The
innovative interconnected structure allows readers to build on their
knowledge with each successive chapter while also allowing the
flexibility to use chapters as standalone units depending on
individual interests. A concluding chapter outlines a research agenda
for future scholarship, spotlighting the methods and approaches that
are most likely to advance the field. This book is an invaluable
resource for graduate students and researchers, at all stages of their
careers, looking to expand their knowledge base in SLA and L2
pronunciation and related fields such as phonetics and phonology.
