Part of the series on American English from 1781 to 1921, Volume
VIII includes a guide to the phonetics of American English with the
purpose to provide a rational method of examining pronunciation,
the most important of the practical aspects of speech. Also
included is American English (1921) that reflects the progressive
development of the author's ideas on the subject over a forty-year
period. It consists of a critical discussion of works on
Americanisms, a list of 'exotic' or supposed Americanisms which
appear in the primary collections of Americanisms, a list of 'real'
Americanisms which do not appear in those works, a list of
misunderstood Americanisms, and finally a bibliography.
