has gloss | eng: Pronunciation respelling is a type of notation system used to convey the pronunciation of words, in a language which doesn't have a phonemic orthography (such as English). Respelling systems are meant to be easy for native readers to understand, but do not represent phonetic differences between English accents or dialects. English dictionaries have used various respelling systems to convey phonemic representations of the spoken word since at least the early nineteenth century. Today such systems remain in use in American dictionaries for native English speakers, but they have been replaced by the International Phonetic Alphabet in linguistics references, bilingual dictionaries, and most dictionaries outside the United States. A few dictionaries use “sound-alike” pronunciation, sometimes called newspaper respelling or non-phonemic respelling. |
