What reading level is The Standard of Pronunciation in English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is this same anomalous character which threatens the perma- nence of the cherished pronunciation.
Yet it is not the conflict which goes on between what he calls the common and what he considers the proper usage which alone vexes the soul of the ortho- epist. With variations already existing, and others steadily coming to exist, he finds himself in constant perplexity.
In a language which has more than THE STANDARD OF forty sounds to be represented, and with but a few more than twenty charac-... ters to represent them, pronunciation is always liable to partake of a certain de- gree of lawlessness. This is true in par- ticular of the vowel system. There ca- price and fashion have the opportunity to do their perfect work. The changes which take place in consequence are rarely the result of any principle, or of any recognizable orthoepic influence.
To the ordinary observer they seem nothing more than the blind results of chance. Yet to struggle against them is usually of little avail. Orthoepists may resort to entreaty or invective, but in spite of their utmost efforts they are often compelled to acquiesce in pro- nunciations which are abhorrent to their souls.
