Pronunciation of Names (was WORD to PDF conversion)

[Genevra Gerhart]

Dear List,
 Considerable attention has been paid to the problem of where to stress Russian surnames: Morton Benson, long since, produced an entire book of stresses thereof, University of Pennsylvania Press, and entitled "Dictionary of Russian Personal Names, with a Guide to Stress and Morphology". I got the first edition in 1964 and there was another improved one, later, I believe. The non-native who attempts to speak Russian shouldn't really be without it.

And I will also mention that if it's a famous name we're talking about, you can also refer to "The Russian Context" for the same information.
