<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Many of us
have encountered a situation where we need to pronounce the name
of a linguist,
but we don’t know how. Or we need to write down someone’s name
in another
script (Cyrillic, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, etc.), and this
again requires
correct pronunciation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">As a
result, you have to look for pronunciation instructions on
personal webpages,
listen to recordings on YouTube, ask friends, and so on, but it
is much more
convenient when such information is collected in one place. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">To do this, I
created the editable list of names and their transcriptions
here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Additional
difficulties that this project allows to solve:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">a)
distinguishing the surname from other names (necessary for the
correct
compilation of bibliographies and especially relevant for
languages with a
different order of components in the name or for names
consisting of more than
two words)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">b)
indicating gender pronouns – he / she / they – useful in many
languages when
you need to, for example, refer to the author.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">If you are
in doubt whether you should indicate yourself, you can use the
following
criterion as a working one: if you have published at least one
article or had
one presentation at a conference, you can safely provide your
name. Also if
people pronounce your name differently from how you’d like it to
be pronounced,
or if you’ve ever been asked how to pronounce your name, that’s
a hint that you
should provide that information.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">If you
can’t/don’t want to add your data to the sheet yourself, you can
send it to me
by email . Also write if you have any
questions/comments/suggestions etc.</span></p>
