Title: The Kaso English to Italian (Phonemic) Dictionary 
Subtitle: A one-to-one relationship of letters to sounds for assistance with
pronunciation

Publication Year: 2012

Abstract:

The immediate goal of this Dictionary is twofold:
    1) Implement the last phase in establishing a one-to-one relationship 
between Italian phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (letters of the alphabet).
    2) Implement the first phase in establishing a one-to-one relationship 
between English phonemes and graphemes, and make English easier to 
read, to spell and to pronounce (the word to spell does not really exist in 
Italian).

    This Dictionary can be used by any individual wishing to acquire or 
improve English and Italian language skills. It serves as a quick reference for 
standard spelling of English and Italian words, and offers suggestions on how 
to better grasp the pronunciation of the two languages. Because of the 
proposed changes, the Dictionary would also serve as a tool in developing 
better reading and writing skills, allowing the user to simultaneously look at 
four columns of words in their standard English/Italian translations, together 
with their transcribed English/Italian forms wherein the stress of each 
transcribed word is accented. In addition, each Italian word has either 
masculine or feminine, singular or plural endings. In the Dictionary, the 
endings appear in italics after each word. The top of each odd page carries a 
guide on pronouncing phonemes such as /c/ /k/ /j/ /g/ etc.
