"RP" stands for "Received Pronunciation", the traditional name for the standard British English accent. "Received" really means "accepted in good society", which shows the prescriptive social character of the original concept. Today, "RP" is used to refer to the pronunciation usually taught to foreigners -unlike the other English accents it is not associated with any one georgraphical area, and can be heard spoken as a prestige accent thoughout the British Isles.

"GA"or "General American", (or AE-American English) is the accent spoken by the majority of Americans, namely those who do not have a noticeable Eastern or Southern accent.

What are the main phonological differences between American Standard English and the Queen's British English?

One of the key differences between RP (British English) and GA (American English) in terms of phonology are: -In some cases, the stress pattern is different, resulting in the aluminum-aluminium division - In GA, there is y-deletion in the vowel yuw (in some cases), as in the word "tube". - Optimality Theory provides explanations for phonetic variations such as the two pronunciations of "hot" - In terms of phonetics, RP tends to have higher, rounder vowels than GA.
