KKAmerican Pronunciation DjbritishPronunciation KK phonetic symbol is a kind of international phonetic symbol, DJ phonetic symbol is also one of them. KK phonetic symbol is related to two American linguists, J.S.Kenyan and T.A.Knott. According to the phonetic symbols used in the Pronunciation Dictionary of American English compiled by IPA (Apronouncing Dictionary, 1944, 1953), It is commonly known as KK Phonetic Alphabet. The DJ Phonetic Alphabet is related to the British phonetician DanielJones. He compiled an EnglishPronouncingDictionary of British English according to IPA (the first edition to the twelfth edition, the last edition was published in 1963). Some people mistakenly think that the International Phonetic Alphabet is the phonetic alphabet with British pronunciation. KK, on the other hand, marks the American pronunciation. This statement says that the international phonetic alphabet can only be used to mark the British pronunciation, and that KK phonetic alphabet is not an international phonetic alphabet. In fact, this is not correct. International phonetic alphabet, as its name suggests, is designed to mark the pronunciation of various international languages. Many linguists modify the international phonetic alphabet locally to mark the languages they study, so there are many international phonetic alphabets. DJ phonetic symbol is also one of them. But now, these two standards are out of date. Another British phonetician, A.C.Gimson (he is a student of DanielJones and a professor of phonetics at the University of London, England), revised the pronunciation of the dictionary of British English (13th edition, 1977; 14th edition, 1988), making it more representative of the actual pronunciation. ag.hg0088
