| Abstract: |
The Macmillan English Dictionary on CD-ROM is one of few monolingual EFL electronic dictionaries on the market to attempt to seriously address the phonetic potential of the lexicographic content and the multimedia technology. This is a detailed analysis of the structure and functioning of the phonetic representation in CD-ROM MED, with postulates and conclusions generalized to all learners' machine-readable dictionaries (MRDs). The three essential elements of MED phonetics are discussed: (a) the phonetic representations, both transcription and audio recordings, (b) the phonetic access mechanism through SoundSearch, (c) the Pronunciation Practice module. Some phono-lexicographic problems with the three components are pointed out. |
