Hullo everyone. I am trying to use John Wells's lexical sets in teaching in phonetics and phonology and find I want to augment the published lists in Accents of English and at least one textbook I looked at with one or two other sets - does anyone have anything approaching a "standard" for a more comprehensive set? Mainly what I want is for it to be able to handle Scottish (and Irish) English a bit more - I realise that for some new accents of English, particularly with different phonotactic/allophonic/phonemic systems, something even more radical may be necessary, but what I am really looking for is something for the UK. I would like to include a word document with my first attempt at covering Scottish Standard English but not sure that will work when mailing Phonet. If it doesn't, I will later just paste in the lexemes to a regular mail message. Meantime, I will send this, and wait to see if the attachment works, then try to explain some of the additions perhaps if anyone wants to know why I want to include them. Jim Scobbie
