Gimson, Professor of Phonetics at the University of London — represents the pinnacle of that enduring legacy. Originally compiled by the legendary phonetician Daniel Jones, the dictionary presents the pronunciation of nearly 70,000 words using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), making it an indispensable tool for linguists, language teachers, actors, broadcasters, and anyone seeking precision in spoken English. This edition has been completely revised and updated, and now includes a comprehensive glossary of Phonetic Terms, further cementing its authority as a scholarly and practical reference work.\n\nThe work of Daniel Jones transformed the scientific study of phonetics, and his dictionary remains a cornerstone of the discipline — a text that shaped the very foundations of how English pronunciation is taught and understood worldwide. Gimson's meticulous revisions ensure the volume reflects contemporary spoken usage without sacrificing academic rigour, bridging the gap between Jones's classical scholarship and the demands of modern linguistics. Whether used as a daily reference or a scholarly resource, this dictionary raises a fascinating question: in a language as mutable as English, what does it truly mean to pronounce a word correctly?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203186729179,"sku":"2026200014960-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/66bfcac1-9a8a-4d06-b9f8-eea597053c1a.png?v=1788145232","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014960-secondhand-everymans-english-pronouncing-dictionary","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
