Opis: AN ENGLISH PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY (SHOWING THE PRONUNCIATION OF OVER 50,000 WORDS IN INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTION) BY DANIEL JONES LONDON AND TORONTO J. M. DENT & SONS LIMITED NEW YORK: E. P. DUTTON & CO. INC. 1924, str 426 stan db (podniszczona okładka twarda, podpisana) ISBN INTRODUCTION OBJECT OF THE BOOK I. The object of the present dictionary is to record, with as much accuracy as is necessary for practical linguistic purposes, the pronunciation used by a considerable number of cultivated Southern English people (see § g) in ordinary conversation. 2. The book is a record of facts, not of theories or personal preferences. No attempt is made to decide how people ought to pronounce; all that the dictionary aims at doing is to give a faithful record of the manner in which certain specified classes of people do pronounce. 3. The number of words recorded is 50,290 (including 12,044 proper names but excluding inflected forms, see p. xxvi).
