Book excerpt: The Routledge Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English is the most up-to-date record of the pronunciation of British and American English. Based on research by a joint UK and US team of linguistics experts, it is a unique survey of how English is really spoken in the 21st century and offers a full reappraisal of the pronunciation models for modern British and American English. It is also the most comprehensive dictionary of its type available, and the only one to give full transcriptions for British and American English for every word. The 2nd edition has been fully revised to include 2000 new entries and is the essential reference for those interested in English pronunciation.
