OED Head of Pronunciations, Catherine Sangster Note on expanding the Historical Thesaurus of the OED ![]() On the transcription side of things, we carried out our usual editorial research to ensure all the revised and newly added entries in the latest update are accompanied by accurate pronunciations: where’s the stress in flat stickor blasphematory, just how many different ways do U.S. Since the previous update, outside the usual cycle of quarterly additions, we oversaw the addition of Indian English pronunciations too, which gathered significant press interest in India and beyond. Also in our recording booth, we’ve filled in some gaps in our Scottish English coverage, and intensified our regular programme of British and U.S. This is discussed in more depth in this blog post. This has involved developing and revising our New Zealand English transcription model to ensure it fully reflects the influence of Māori pronunciation, and creating fresh audio to accompany all the newly added New Zealand English words. This quarter, one of the pronunciation team’s main activities has been to build up OED’s coverage of World Englishes. You can see the full list of words to be added in this update here.
