What reading level is The Pronunciation of English in Scotland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
remember, Henry, send are pronounced n'mimbar, 'hinn, sind, for ri'membar, 'henn, send.
140. Many speakers now use e: in words spelled air, ere, etc. (see § 135) before the point fricative j instead of the old e: . e in such cases is fully long and sometimes is followed by a slight glide. Thus care, stair, ere would be ke:r, ste:r, e:r. When e is thus lengthened, it tends to be THE VOWELS 61 lowered, hence approaching in many speakers the vowel f of southern speech. If f is used in these words,... it can never be followed by trilled r without giving a dialectal effect. Note that the adverb there, generally Seir, is often pronounced Se:r when very emphatic. In familiar speech in unstressed position it frequently becomes Bar, e.g. at the beginning of a sentence, there was once a man, tSarwaz'wAnsa'man. The adjective their when stressed is 8e:r, when unstressed Ser, or in careless speech Sar.
141. Low front tense {or half tense). This vowel is used by many Scottish speakers in words of the ' care ' type instead of the more common e (see § 135).
