This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

Excerpt from The Dictionary Appendix and Orthographer "This book is very painstaking, and those who are frequently puzzled in the spelling of the participles will find the work invaluable. We cordially recommend this book." "The best educated will not reject this 'Dictionary Appendix' as a study companion; and those also whose education is only in progress, will find it an excellent help. The inflections of the verbs are often very perplexing. Here, in all difficult words, they will be found at a glance, which will save many a precious moment. "Rules are given for spelling the participles of verbs, and such words as are not found in the dictionary. The rules are only ten, and so constructed, that seven of them are without a single exception: the other three (first, sixth and eighth) contain every one of the exeptions, which renders the work at once simple and comprehensive. "The plan of the work may be indicated by a single word, 'ballot, balloted, balloting.' Opposite the word will be found the figure 6, which points to the rule by which the spelling is determined. "We give this work our hearty recommendation." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
