Chayen M.J. The phonetics of modern Hebrew

Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter Mouton, 1973. — 52 p. — (Janua Linguarum. Series Practica 162).The text which provides the material for this description consists of taped recordings of the speech of undergraduates in informal conversations. In addition about half an hour of radio news broadcasts was recorded by two regular Kol Israel radio announcers. These recordings were all made in the first few months of 1967. Later in June 1967, a recording was added of General Rabin at his first press conference after the Six-Day War, his diction being particularly clear and his pronunciation typical of the type of native Hebrew of the third generation, which we shall call 'Educated Israeli Hebrew' (E.I.H.).
