| | American and British Pronunciation Differences |
| | The differences discussed really only apply to General American (most of the west and heartland) and RP (Received Pronunciation), which is close to BBC English - the kind spoken by British newscasters. | | | Pronunciation of vowels also distinguishes meaning in words, but sometimes the pronunciation is unnecessary. | | | In Britain, where class structure is strong, people are more acute to vowel enunciation and, often unconsciously, preserve many pronunciations that would otherwise be unnecessary. |

| | The attack on received pronunciation is only a particular instance of the relativist notion that there is no higher and lower, no better and worse, no correct and incorrect, and therefore nothing to aim at or aspire to. | | | Now the only children who are taught received pronunciation as the route to social advancement are the children of Indian and West African immigrants, and those of the respectable wing of the West Indian community. | | | For example, in a railway station of my acquaintance, the pre-recorded messages over the public address system are intoned by a man who uses received pronunciation, but who, when he pronounces the word Newcastle, uses the short rather than the long a, the long a being what would come most naturally to him. |

| | Of course, the notion of "correctness" with regard to pronunciation is not tantamount to adherence to "native speaker" norms or Received Pronunciation (RP) rules. | | | There have been numerous studies involving speakers of various English accents in order to find out what values are generally associated with Received Pronunciation. | | | What should be drawn to our attention is that, in the process of communication, pronunciation (of both segmental and suprasegmental (prosodic) elements) is of paramount importance, since successful communication cannot take place without correct pronunciation (Celce-Murcia, Brinton and Goodwin, 1996)-poorly pronounced segments and suprasegments may have the result of disorienting the listener and inhibiting comprehension. |

| | The accent known to many people outside the United Kingdom as British English is Received Pronunciation, which is defined as the educated spoken English of southeastern England. | | | In particular it often refers to the written Standard English and the pronunciation known as Received Pronunciation (RP). | | | The local inner east London accent called Cockney is strikingly different from Received Pronunciation and can be difficult for outsiders to understand. |

| | Received Pronuncation Antimoon Forum |
| | I think the very word "received" suggests that this pronunciation is not naturally acquired but learned at schools, universities etc. This accent was used as a tool of social discrimination to distinguish the educated high class people in Britain from all the rest. | | | Originally, though, Received Pronunciation was based off the native dialects of the Home Counties in southern England, but was not identical to such. | | | My dictionary defines Oxford English as: "That form of the received pronunciation of English supposed to be typical of Oxford University and regarded by many (and this is the funny bit!) as affected and pretentious". |

| | Talk:Received Pronunciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | If you speak received pronunciation you will change the vowel sound (so it won't be like "cat", but the "a" will be like that in "palm"), but you won't pronunce the "r" like they would in Scotland, Ireland or most of the USA. | | | Still, I should point out that "Received Pronunciation" is just as much a proper noun as the name of any language, and of course more so than the names of bird species and dog breeds, which aren't proper nouns at all... | | | I think this makes the last section "Speaking with Received Pronunciation" (which strikes me as containing a lot of dubious assertions) largely redundant, but I haven't done anything to it yet.--JHJ 10:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC) |

| | British Received Pronunciation (RP), by definition, the usual speech of educated people living in London and southeastern England, is one of the many forms of standard speech. | | | The chief differences between British Received Pronunciation, as defined above, and a variety of American English, such as Inland Northern (the speech form of western New England and its derivatives, often popularly referred to as General American), are in the pronunciation of certain individual vowels and diphthongs. | | | British Received Pronunciation and American Inland Northern show several divergences: (1) After some vowels American has a semiconsonantal glide. |

| | Received Pronunciation (henceforth referred to as RP) is likewise difficult to define, but in his book English Segmental Phonetics for Finns, Ian Morris-Wilson defines RP as the standard pronunciation of the educated Englishman(14). | | | In conclusion, there are numerous differences between American English and Received Pronunciation. | | | In these days of political correctness, the RP pronunciation of harassment has become increasingly popular in AE as well, because the AE pronunciation includes a syllable which distinctly resembles the pronunciation of ass, and that is considered by some to be inappropriate (Hopkins). |

| | Received Pronunciation (RP) is a form of pronunciation of the English language, sometimes defined as the "educated spoken English of southeastern England." It is a dialect of English English often taught to non-native speakers, and represented in the pronunciation schemes of most British dictionaries. | | | For many years, the use of Received Pronunciation was considered a mark of education. | | | RP is sometimes known as the Queen's English but recordings show that even the Queen has changed her pronunciation over the past 50 years, no longer using a [ɛ]-like vowel in words like land. |
