===Dictionaries=== Most English dictionaries published in Britain (including the [[Oxford English Dictionary]]) now give phonetically transcribed RP pronunciations for all words. Pronunciation dictionaries represent a special class of dictionary giving a wide range of possible pronunciations: British pronunciation dictionaries are all based on RP, though not necessarily using that name. Daniel Jones transcribed RP pronunciations of words and names in the [[English Pronouncing Dictionary]]. Cambridge University Press continues to publish this title, as of 1997 edited by [[Peter Roach (phonetician)|Peter Roach]]. Two other pronunciation dictionaries are in common use: the ''Longman Pronunciation Dictionary'',{{sfnp|Wells|2008}} compiled by [[John C. Wells]] (using the name "Received Pronunciation"), and [[Clive Upton]]'s ''Oxford Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English'',{{sfnp|Upton|Kretzschmar|Konopka|2001}} (now republished as ''The Routledge Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English'').<ref>{{cite book |last1=Upton |first1=Clive |last2=Kretzschmar |first2=William |title=The Routledge Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English |date=2017 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781138125667}}</ref>
