A pronunciation respelling is a regular phonetic respelling of a word that does have a standard spelling, so as to indicate the pronunciation. Pronunciation respellings are sometimes seen in dictionaries. This should not be confused with pronunciation spelling, which is an ''ad hoc'' spelling of a word that has no standard spelling. Most of these are nonce coinages, but some have become standardized, e.g. ''gonna'' to represent the pronunciation of ''going to,'' as in ''I'm gonna catch you.'' ==Respelling== Pronunciation spellings may be used informally to indicate the pronunciation of foreign words or those whose spelling is irregular or not sufficient to deduce the pronunciation. This is called respelling. In such cases, typeface, punctuation or letter case may also be used, e.g. to indicate stress or syllabication: :"Diarrhoea" is pronounced DYE-uh-''REE''-a This offers a sometimes intuitive alternative to systems like the International Phonetic Alphabet, which offer precise descriptions but need to be learned. However, it relies on the writer's encoding mapping to the same phonemes as the reader's; e.g. :''Föhn'' is pronounced "Fern" might be adequate for a non-rhotic reader but not a rhotic one. for conventions used by various English dictionaries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pronunciation respelling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
