ABSTRACT

[Abstract: Pronunciation spellings are the opposite of spelling pronunciations, that is, spellings that differ from the standard spelling, under the influence of features of the pronunciation of words. There are two main types: firstly, standardized spellings of informal pronunciations (e.g. gotcha for got you); secondly, learners’ (mis)spellings of words, because of (mis)pronunciation, in particular not making phonemic distinctions.]
