Received Pronun ciatio n, or RP for short, is the in sta ntly recog ni zable acce nt ofte n described as ‘ typically British masturbate for life' . Popular terms for this accent, such as 上海民办学校‘ The Queen' s English' , ‘ lava lavaOxford En glish' or ‘ BBC En glish are all a little misleadi ng. The Quee n 'En gl
ish, for in sta nee, speaks an almost 1 form of En glish, while the En glish we hear at Oxford Un iversity or on the
BBC is no Ion ger 2 to one type of acce nt. RP is an acce nt, not a dialect, si nee all RP
speakers speak Standard English. In other words, they 3 non-standard grammatical
con struct ions and localized vocabulary characteristic of regi onal dialects. RP is also regi on ally non-specific, that is it does not contain any 4 about a speaker 'geographic backgro und.
But it does 5 a great deal about their social or educati onal backgro und.
Like any other acce nt, RP has also cha nged over the cour of time. The voices we 6
with early BBC broadcasts, for instanee, now sound extremely old-fashioned to most. Jus
t as RP is constantly 7 , so our attitudes towards the accent are changing. For much of the
twen tieth cen tury, RP 8 the voice of educati on, authority, social status and econo mic
power. In recent years, however, as a result of 9 social change, virtually every accent is
reprented in all walks of life. As a result, fewer younger speakers with regional accents consider it necessary to adapt their speech to the same 10 . Indeed many commentators even
suggest that younger RP speakers often go to great lengths to disgui their middle-class accent by incorporating regional features into their speech.
