Containing a Careful Selection of Words in the English Language Most Commonly Mispronounced, together with their Pronunciation as Given by the Best Authorities in England and America
"A Manual of Pronunciation" by Otis Ashmore is a practical guide to correct English pronunciation written in the early 20th century. The manual aims to address common mispronunciations in the English language, providing clear guidance on proper pronunciation as recognized by authorities in both England and America. It serves not only as a resource for educators but also for individuals seeking to improve their speaking skills. The opening of the manual presents a preface where Ashmore explains the significance of proper pronunciation and how it reflects one’s education and culture. He emphasizes the importance of correcting pronunciation habits formed in youth and introduces the structure of the manual, which includes a careful selection of frequently mispronounced words. The text outlines methods for effective use in educational settings, focusing on practice and repetition to instill correct pronunciations in learners' memories. Overall, Ashmore’s intention is to provide a practical tool for students and teachers alike in fostering better pronunciation practices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
