What is meant by Received Pronunciation?
Received Pronunciation, or RP for short, is the instantly recognisable accent often described as ‘typically British’. Popular terms for this accent, such as ‘the Queen’s English’, ‘Oxford English’ or ‘BBC English’ are all a little misleading. RP is an accent, not a dialect, since all RP speakers speak Standard English.
