English Pronouncing Dictionary information


The English Pronouncing Dictionary (EPD) was created by the British phonetician Daniel Jones and was first published in 1917.[1] It originally comprised over 50,000 headwords listed in their spelling form, each of which was given one or more pronunciations transcribed using a set of phonemic symbols based on a standard accent. The dictionary is now in its 18th edition. John C. Wells has written of it "EPD has set the standard against which other dictionaries must inevitably be judged".[2]
