Synopsis
This phonetic pronouncing dictionary of American English focuses on capturing the colloquial, informal style of speech used by educated and cultivated users of English in the United States. As opposed to many dictionaries that focus on the formal styles of speech more typical of public speaking, this book attempts to document how English is actually spoken and used in everyday American life, and in a way that is accessible and usable for students and writers alike. The dictionary has been carefully compiled to showcase the diversity of American speech, from its regional varieties to its many local variants and pronunciations, providing a rich source of information for anyone interested in the study of the English language. Its authoritative and comprehensive nature makes it an invaluable resource for linguists, teachers, and anyone who wishes to refine their understanding of how the English language is spoken in the United States.

About the Author
John Samuel Kenyon (1874-1959) was an American linguist. He graduated from Hiram College in 1898 and taught there as a professor of English from 1916 to 1944, when he retired and became an emeritus professor until his death. Together with Thomas A. Knott, he wrote A Pronouncing Dictionary of American English (1944), still regarded as a classic guide to American English pronunciation. Kenyon had also earlier published American Pronunciation (1924) and served as the consulting editor of pronunciation to the second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary in his career as a pioneering expert on the study of American English, which earned him the epithet "the dean of American phoneticians".
