PHY210 - English in England: RP

This E-Lecture constitutes the starting point of a series of e-lectures dealing with English and its phonological varieties. The focus of this one is Received Pronunciation, the standard phonological dialect associated with England. Its main topics are: history, definition and a detailed discussion of the RP sound system.

This video is very useful for those who want to find out all about RP - the spoken form of Standard English, a model of English pronunciation used in most dictionaries of English. Thank you.

Note: Public school means private school

It should be noted that 'public school' is misleading as in Britain it refers to private boarding schools, rather than 'public' education.

Sir, some authors says that Old English were used from about AD 500 to 1050, and it was also called Anglo-Saxon. Is there any historical milestone that marked those times in a more detailed way?
