In the course of his paper, Pro- fessor Simpson traced the im-
of portance phonetics teaching of the English language and made reference to some of the difficulties of enunciation en-. countered by Chinese boys.
He referred also to the agita tion by newspapers in England re- centy over the correct pronun- clation of certain words. This was largely due to broadcasting, which had raised many arguments about the speech of announcers. Interest had been heightened by the announcers appealing to the B.B.C. for help, and by the B.B.C. appointing "committees to decide the pronunciations of hundreds of disputed words.
