Subject: IPA to Internet? -Reply



Heather M. Hewitt HHEW1030[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]URIACC.URI.EDU asks:





Does anybody know where I can find an IPA to Internet legend?





I have found three proposals on the Web:



Computer-coding the IPA: a proposed extension of SAMPA:

http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/x-sampa.htm

(John Wells, Department of Phonetics and Linguistics, University College

London)



Proposal for an ASCII Version of the IPA

http://weber.u.washington.edu/~yuenren/ASCII_IPA.html

(David Prager Branner)



Usenet IPA/ASCII transcription

http://weber.u.washington.edu/~dillon/ipaascii.html

(Evan Kirshenbaum)





The Usenet system may be in use in the newsgroups sci.lang and

alt.usage.english (since around 1/93). I do not know if the other two are

actually in use.
