English Pronunciation in the Eighteenth Century Thomas Spence's 'Grand Repository of the English Language' Oxford University Press 1999. A clean, fine, as new copy in an equally clean, fine, dustjacket. To collectors of 18th century British Trade Tokens, Spence is well known for his varied and interesting productions. Spence is also well known for his political writings, more particularly for his radical 'Plan' for social reform involving common ownership of the land. A neglected aspect of Spence's Plan was his proposal to extend the benefits of reading and of 'correct' pronunciation to the lower classes by means of a phonetic script of his own devising, first set out and used in Spence's Grand Repository of the English Language (1775). The Grand repository was one of many English pronouncing dictionaries produced in the late eighteenth century to satisfy the growing demands for a clear guide to 'correct' pronounciation. It differs from its contemporaries firstly in that it was intended primarily for the lower classes, and secondly in that it is the only eighteenth century pronouncing dictionary of English to use as truly 'phonetic' script in the sense that one sound equates to one symbol. The author pays particular attention to the actual pronunciations advocated by Spence. While not specifically related to numismatics this volume is of interest to both linguists and historians, and provides additional insight into a truly remarkable character. |
