Main aspects that are covered include
- The description and classification of vowels and consonants and the comparison of vowel and consonant systems
- (Socio)phonetic and (socio)phonological variation and change
- The acoustic analysis of vowels
- A discussion of major regional or national L1 accents of English, e.g. Southern Standard British (a.k.a. ‘RP’), Northern British, Scottish, Irish, North American, Australian
- Selected historical sound changes as far as they are responsible for major differences between present-day accents
- A discussion of selected L2 accents of English, e.g. Nigerian English, Indian English or Hong Kong English
- Discussions of empirical investigations of present-day sociolinguistic variation (and change) in accents of English
