Nueva versión de Cockney and EE: Debunking the RP Myth by Gianina Azcurra https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/ocmml3vv0t5 Hecho con el deseo de una estrella en-us 2017-10-22 01:32:21 UTC 2026-03-01 03:02:06 UTC hello@padlet.com gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/ocmml3vv0t5/wish/199310752 2017-10-22 01:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/ocmml3vv0t5/wish/199310752 Received Pronunciation gianinazcurra1 https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/ocmml3vv0t5/wish/199310753 Received Pronunciation, often abbreviated to RP, is an accent of spoken English. Unlike other UK accents, it's identified not so much with a particular region as with a particular social group, although it has connections with the accent of Southern England. RP is associated with educated speakers and formal speech. It has connotations of prestige and authority, but also of privilege and arrogance.

The term cockney has had several distinct geographical, social, and linguistic associations. Originally a pejorative term applied to all city-dwellers, it was eventually restricted to Londoners and particularly to "Bow-bell Cockneys":[1] those born within earshot of Bow Bells, the bells of St Mary-le-Bow[2] in the Cheapside district of theCity of London. It eventually came to be used to refer to those in London's East End, or to all working-class Londoners generally.[3][4][5]


Linguistically, cockney English refers to the accent or dialect of English traditionally spoken by working-class Londoners. By the 1980s and 1990s, many aspects of cockney English had become part of general South East English speech, producing a variant known as Estuary English. Today cockney-speaking areas include parts ofDagenham, Barking, Billericay, Brentwood, Romford, Chigwell, Loughton, Harlow,Basildon, Thurrock, Cheshunt, Bexley, Sidcup, Welling and Eltham among others.

Phonetician John C. Wells proposed a definition of Estuary English as "Standard English spoken with the accent of the south-east of England" but criticised the notion that the spread of language from London to the southeast was anything new.[1] The name comes from the area around the Thames, particularly its Estuary. Estuary English can be heard from some people in London, north Surrey,[2] Kent, southHertfordshire and Essex. Estuary English shares many features with Cockney, and there is some debate among linguists as to where Cockney speech ends and Estuary English begins.

It is the accent described as 'Typically British' and all present-day descriptions of 'Standard English' are based on it. But also, there are other types of accents as 'Estuary English' and 'Cockney' used by hundreds of British people according to their place of residence. In this way, we can affirm that the language may suffer some variations in its structure depending on the accents of the speakers. For example, the sound 'th' in 'something' is pronounced with the sound 'f': 'somefing' by individuals that use the Cockney accent. Therefore, it is very important to take into account all British accents and dialects that exist in order to avoid misunderstandings in the communication between native and non-native speakers.
We know that the accent reflects the unique characteristics and background of a person. However, some people may have difficulty to communicate because their accents are differents. Thus, it is necessary to realize that RP is not the unique accent that exist. There are several accents that identify people with their place of residence and the speakers should take into account to them since these can affect comprehension provoking that individuals do not interpret what you really want to say and they feel frustration because they have to repeat phrases or words, among others. ]]> 2017-10-22 01:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gianinazcurra1/ocmml3vv0t5/wish/199310761 If you want to know more about accents and dialects, you watch this video.
