Example sentences for: pronunciations
How can you use “pronunciations” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern English Usage . He moved on from Fowler's following of the big Oxford English Dictionary in allowing both pronunciations but with preference for “skoan.”
Moreover, if such an approach were adopted, could we expect to see spellings change, periodically, as pronunciations changed?
The pronunciations are indicated in a confusing and inconsistent “newspaper-style’ key.
As mentioned, the pronunciations are British: the variant pronunciation of controversy , in which the stress is on the (shortened) second syllable, is shown, but that is not heard in the US; neither is the given pronunciation of intermediary , which ends \?\ in BE but /\?
While it must be acknowledged that pronunciations occupy a great deal of space—owing largely to the dialectal variants and the precision with which they are represented—most American dictionaries are satisfied to show major (American) dialect differences and to rely on detailed variants to be the product of a judiciously selected key word in the pronunciation key (a subject I do not have the space to go into here).
