Synopsis

This dictionary of USA English is directly taken fromthe Voice of America (VOA) "Intermediate Dictionary of English". There are about 1, 500 words in the dictionary. The VOA uses these words primarily for broadcasting in a simplified English mode. The words and definitions in this book are exactly as in the VOA version. However, because there is no pronunciation guide in the VOA version, a truespel pronunciation guide is provided modeled after the voicings of English on m-w.com, the Merriam-Webster talking dictionary. Unique to this dictionary is a reverse guide that lists phonetic words alphabetically so they can be looked up phonetically. This solves the problem of silent first letters. A large volume reverse dictionary will be available as truespel book 2. More info is available at truespel.com.

Biographie de l'auteur

Thomas E. Zurinskas is the creator of truespel, theworld's first pronunciation guide spelling for USAEnglish. His experience is as a technical editor, human factors specialist, database specialist, andquality assurance specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration. His HF design background led him to create a user-friendly phonetic system for USA English. Using voicings from popular talking dictionaries, he respelled the English language in USA accent. This created a database for a unique analysis investigating how the sounds of USA English are spelled in traditional spelling (he calls tradspel). He has applied truespel to other languages andcompared them to USA English in terms of soundfrequencies. Current efforts are detailed attruespel.com. He lives with wife, Bonnie, inGreenacres, Florida.
