発音

名詞

eye dialect (countable and uncountable, plural eye dialects)

1. (uncountable) Nonstandard spellings which, although they indicate a standard pronunciation, are deliberately substituted in place of the standard spellings, often to indicate that a speaker's regular use of language is nonstandard or dialectal.
   • For quotations using this term, see Citations:eye dialect.
2. (countable) A set of such nonstandard spellings, collectively used to reflect a certain form of speech.

使用する際の注意点

• Whether a given nonstandard spelling is eye dialect depends on the standard pronunciation in the respective country or area. For example, the spelling fatha for father is eye dialect within a predominantly nonrhotic standard pronunciation context (as in most of England), but it would more properly be considered dialect spelling or pronunciation spelling within a predominantly rhotic standard pronunciation context (as in most of the US).
