Extract

In response to the report by Ladefoged and Roach on the future of the International Phonetic Association, I would like to offer some comments to the debate which is taking place in this Journal on the proposed revision of the IPA chart (including prosodic signs). This revision is, in the main, an articulatory and auditory task. I would like to draw your attention to my book Phonetic Notation / La Notazione Fonetica (1983), in which I have provided a complete revision and expansion of the International Phonetic Alphabet. The charts summarizing my list of symbols, adapted from pp. 35–37 of the book, appear below (Figure 1).
