Abstract:

The promise of 'regular' upgrades of the sixth edition is now a
beginning reality after a mere sixteen years, due, undoubtedly, to the
wonders of 'electronic' storage. Actually, the electronic version of
1987 was helpful, but akin to a stone-age tool in 2003. This is not a
major revision. A number of the datasets (nee 'problems') are changed
in minor ways; the typography is, I think, much improved; but none of
the last-edition datasets has been deleted, nor have any new ones been
added. IPA symbols have replaced Americanist symbols in some
datasets; but not uniformly. Some datasets remain or have been recast
in orthographies used by reading populations of certain languages
where phonological issues are not in view.
