A Comparative Phonetics of Italian: Toward a Standard IPA Transcription.

Shibles, Warren

Italica, v71 n4 p548-66 Win 1994

Develops an extended and precise rendering of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in order to clarify difficulties in analyzing Italian. The method used is the paradigm method of analysis since there are no universal phonemic rules of pronunciation that will allow one to correctly pronounce Italian. Tables of transcriptions are included. (32 references) (CK)
