What will happen to RP since Estuary English is taking over? Where can we – South American, Teacher Training College students – listen to Estuary English accent?
H. Duilio Mansilla, Student at Profesorado Joaqun V. Gonzlez, Buenos Aires, Argentina, April 2000 Do not believe everything you read in the papers. Estuary English is not ‘taking over’. Indeed, it is widely condemned by those who write to the newspapers or phone in to BBC Radio Four. Continue to teach the kind of modernized RP I describe in LPD (calling it by some other name if you prefer). For example, be ready to accept a glottal stop for /t/ in many syllable-final environments, and [o] in place of dark /l/.
