WHAT DOES SPELLING PRONUNCIATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Spelling pronunciation

A spelling pronunciation is the pronunciation of a word according to its spelling, at odds with a standard or traditional pronunciation. Words spelled with silent letters, or traditionally pronounced with reduced vowels or omitted consonants, may be subject to a spelling pronunciation. If a word's spelling was standardized prior to sound changes that produced its "traditional" pronunciation, a spelling pronunciation may reflect an even older pronunciation. This is often the case with compound words. It is also the case for many words with silent letters, though not all—silent letters are sometimes added for etymological reasons, to reflect a word's spelling in its language of origin. Some silent letters were added on the basis of erroneous etymologies, as in the case of the word island and scythe. Spelling pronunciations are generally considered incorrect next to the traditionally accepted, and usually more widespread, pronunciation. If a spelling pronunciation persists and becomes more common, it may eventually join the existing form as equally acceptable, or even become the dominant pronunciation.

Definition of spelling pronunciation in the English dictionary

The definition of spelling pronunciation in the dictionary is a pronunciation of a word that is influenced by the word's orthography and often comes about as the modification of an earlier or original rendering, such as the pronunciation of the British name Mainwaring, usually ((ˈmænərɪŋ)), as ((ˈmeɪnˌwɛərɪŋ)).
