Features: The innovation of the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary lies in the author's objective description of the current usage of British and American English based on extensive research. Therefore, its authority surpasses that of similar dictionaries. The Commercial Press has decided to publish this book in China, which will be a blessing for English teachers (especially those teaching English pronunciation and speaking) and individuals who wish to study abroad but are concerned about their pronunciation not being "authentic." It will benefit Chinese English learners in mastering contemporary English pronunciation. At the same time, the book provides an indispensable reference for the annotation of word pronunciation in the compilation of English teaching materials and English dictionaries in China. The Longman Dictionary is a globally recognized brand dictionary and has been favored by readers worldwide since its publication. In 2004, the Commercial Press and Pearson Education Asia Limited reached an agreement to jointly launch the Longman Dictionary Series in mainland China, including the Longman Dictionary of Language and Culture, the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, the Longman Wordwise Dictionary, the Longman Pocket English Dictionary, the Longman Pocket Activator, the Longman Pocket Phrasal Verbs Dictionary, and the Longman Pocket Idioms Dictionary. Among them, the Longman Dictionary of Language and Culture is the most influential, as it combines the functions of an English learning dictionary and an encyclopedia, being a global pioneer. The Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, as an authoritative pronunciation dictionary, will have a positive impact on English phonetics teaching in China. The Longman Wordwise Dictionary emphasizes "production" and highlights the "wordwise" feature, being a recently launched brand learning dictionary by Pearson. We believe that this new Longman dictionary series will be loved by Chinese students, English teachers, and. The Commercial Press Lexicography Research Center, January 2005
