English Pronouncing Dictionary

14/2/2017

I'm pleased to say that an article I wrote for Wikipedia on the topic of the English Pronouncing Dictionary has been accepted, and can now be read here. It's only a rough first version - I hope to improve it, and I invite anyone interested to make their own improvements to it.
This comes at a time when I am quite busy with EPD-related work. I recently examined a PhD at the University of Poitiers, on research by Jeremy Castanier based on a longitudinal study of all editions of EPD from 1st to 18th, looking particularly at stress changes - a very educational experience for me. (Jeremy worked also on a bewildering range of other English pronunciation dictionaries, some of which I had never heard of). And I'm now working on a paper to be given (jointly with Jane Setter) to kick off the pre-conference event organized by the PronSIG for the 2017 IATEFL Conference at Glasgow in April. The paper will be part of a modest celebration of the centenary of the EPD, which was (you've guessed it) first published in 1917.
