D. Jones's English Pronouncing Dictionary has been totally revised for the 15th edition after an interval of twenty years. The writer would like to show some characteristics of the new edition by comparing it with the 14th edition. Of the new characteristics and devices, the most remarkable one is, above all, the introduction of American pronunciation, as well. The type of English described in the 15th edition is not RP but BBC English and 'network English' (American English). It can be said that the 15th edition holds a position as a pronouncing dictionary of world-wide English.
