The Onomastica Interlanguage Pronunciation Lexicon

چکیده
This paper presents one of the linguistic resources developed in the scope of the ONOMASTICA European project. In terms of size, the interlanguage pronunciation lexicon represents a very small fraction of the global lexicon produced by the project. The interest of this research tool, however, derives from its particular contents: 1; 000 names from each of the 11 languages represented in the consortium, with corresponding phonetic transcriptions in all the languages. The exchange of names amongst the partners was done for the purpose of making \nativised" pronunciations for each name. The paper describes in detail the contents of the matrix lexicon and discusses the problems encountered in de ning these nativised pronunciations.
