The book titled Sesletimin Kavramsal Temelleri, authored by Dr. Tarık Uzun has been published by Pegem Akademi Publishing. The work offers a holistic and theoretical framework for second language pronunciation, addressing it through the lenses of spoken communication, intelligibility, and social context. In line with the fundamental concepts of pronunciation, it examines the processes of speech perception and production while also treating intelligibility as one of the book’s central focal points in the light of both historical and current approaches.
Moving away from native-speaker-centred perspectives, the book discusses contemporary approaches to pronunciation and offers a conceptual perspective on current debates in the field by bringing together its teaching, assessment, and technology-related dimensions in foreign language teaching. The book serves as a reference for researchers, foreign language teachers, and prospective teachers interested in pronunciation, combining both theoretical discussion and practical relevance.
