雅思口语备考：英音的发音特点　　英语到了十九世纪, 英语语言的变化带有社会阶遥的遥彩由此女遥英语The Queens English, 女遥英语被公认为标准音Standard Pronunciation, 后来演变为公认的发音Received Pronunciation, 典型英国英语的标准音.
1922年英国广播公司BBC采用RP标准音, 就此BBC为标准音.
也有人把他称为Oxbridge English.
即使这样也只有10%的人发RP口音, 应为RP发音带有浓厚的上层社会遥彩, 人们把发音看作是社会地位的标志.
假如一个受过良好教育的人不会发RP音, 很难体现自己的社会身份以及地位的体现.
