Pronouncing a person's name As administrator of the VOA Pronunciation Guide, I am constantly asked to provide the "correct" pronunciation of a person's name. Phrased as such, the question implies that there is only one "correct" way, to the exclusion of all others. How do we know what is "correct"? Were it a perfect world, we would endeavor to carefully interview each person whose name we wish to learn how to pronounce. Even then, opinions will vary. With this in mind, please be aware that every entry in the VOA Pronunciation Guide database is a compromise, to one degree or the other. Pronouncing a place name At VOA, we treat people and place names differently. However, for place names, we rely upon the Merriam Webster Geographic Dictionary as a first source.

Problem areas Significant confusion can occur when Merriam Webster's Geographic Dictionary lists more than one pronunciation for a place name. The guide is not intended to be a language teaching tool. Jim Tedder July 2003. ABC Services - Podcasts. English as a Second Language Podcast. Listening : Downloadable MP3 Files.

China Detains 100 Lawyers, Activists China has detained or questioned more than 100 human rights lawyers and activists recently. Rights groups are sharply critical of the Chinese government. They are describing its actions as the worst crackdown in 20 years. The China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group reported Monday that 114 human rights lawyers and activists from 18 provinces were called in for questioning.

Mass detentions follow lawyer’s disappearance On the morning of July 9, lawyer Wang Yu was taken from her home by police. Not long after Ms. Officials later detained some of those who signed their names to the list, as well as two members of the Beijing Fengrui Law Firm, Zhou Shifeng and Liu Xiaoyuan. One of those questioned was Ge Yongxi, a lawyer from Guangdong. He said “I don’t believe this [crackdown] will cool down people’s attention to Wang Yu’s and Zhou Shifeng’s cases.
