Словарь английского произношения с американскими вариантами.With regard to apparent inconsistencies, we cannot do better than quote from the introduction to the Jones dictionary :
"A word may be said here on the 'inconsistency fallacy because some critics of books on phonetics (particularly foreign critics) are always on the look-out for what they are pleased to call inconsistencies. Such critics have not fully realized the important fact that in linguistic matters consistency (so-called) means inaccuracy.
"In the best type of book on phonetics, viz. that which aims at recording accurately, there may be errors of observation, but there can be no such thing as inconsistency. The word 'inconsistency' presupposes the existence of rules or principles. The accurate record is not concerned with rules;
it furnishes materials from which rules may be deduced, and if the material is complete or nearly so, the principles deduced therefrom will probably be correct."
