Utdrag
1. What is received pronunciation/RP?
"Received Pronunciation" is a form of Standard English spoken in the United Kingdom, which is considered the standard accent of English as used in the southern regions of England.

2. How did RP come into being?
RP is held in high social regard in Britain and has long been associated with individuals of power, wealth, and influence. However, it has also faced criticism for being linked to unearned privileges.

The origin of RP can be traced back to wealthy individuals with elevated social status who sought to speak differently from those in the working-class.
