#244. 綴字の英米差のリスト[ame_bre][spelling]

2009-12-27

 [2009-12-23-1]で綴字の英米差に触れたが,今回はもっと豊富に例を挙げ,後に再利用が可能となるようにリストの形でまとめておきたい.以下の対照表は,Davies (84--90) が The Shorter Oxford English DictionaryThe American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language のそれぞれから,英米での典型的な綴りをえり抜いたものである.語尾に+マークのあるものは,他方の綴字も比較的低い頻度ではあるが用いられうることを示す.
