This is a list of homophones which have been adapted from a list given for

“General American English” by Evan Antworth. Permission to alter the list

and permission to include the list in our database offerings to Australian

researchers was obtained by Julie Vonwiller. It is based on

the book _Handbook of Homophones_ by William Cameron Townsend, 1975.

For the purpose at hand, the list contains words that sound the same (or

very nearly the same) but are spelled differently. Thus the list includes

“bear” and “bare” but not “bear” (noun) and “bear” (verb). However, the list

does occasionally include spelling variants of the same word when there

is another word in the same entry; for instance, “ax,axe,acts” is in the list

but not “blessed,blest”.(Note that the only difference between

“homophones” and “spelling variant” is whether or not the words are

lexically “the same”.)

Obviously, the determination of what counts as sounding the “same”

depends on the dialect of the speaker. Some of the entries in this list may

be homophones in my speech but not yours (for instance, “awed” and “odd”.

The designation “General American English” should be sufficient to

disallow strong regional dialects (in the south, “tire” and “tar” can be

homophones!) while allowing for some minor variation. For instance, there

are entries for “cot,caught” and “marry,merry,Mary”.

The list contains a few proper names, which are capitalized; e.g. “Pete”

and “peat”. I think this is useful as long as proper names are limited to

common ones. (Proper names that differ only in case from common nouns

are not included, e.g. “bill,”Bill”.) If any and all proper names were fair

game, I fear we would be off and running (how about “Malays” and

“malaise”?). But I am open to advice.

The format of the list is as follows. Each set of homophones is on a single

line terminated by a return. The members of a set are separated by

commas with no trailing spaces. (Thus it is essentially the same as

“comma-delimited” database format.) The list is alphabetized by the first

word (the headword) in each set (line). Each word in the list occurs as a

headword; thus each word occurs at least twice: once as a headword and at

least once in the tail of the list. This scheme permits retrieval from the

list by examining the headword of each line only. For instance:

ascent,assent

assent,ascent

In general, regularly inflected forms of an entry are not included; thus the

list contains “bough,bow” but not “boughs,bows”. Do you think it is worth

adding such entries?
