ScreenLex: A Pronunciation Guide for Film/TV Studies has just been launched.

Yes, now everyone can speak like a film/TV professor!

ScreenLex contains pronunciations of key phrases and people's names from the
disciplines of film studies and television studies.  Its items are available
in three ways:

1.  As a podcast.  Download them to your iPod or other mobile-audio device.
2.  Online:  Listen to them online at screenlex.org using a Flash-based
player.
3.  As a downloaded MP3 file.

For more information, please visit:

http://www.screenlex.org

The first 30 pronunciations (see below) have just been released.  More will
be added, on an irregular basis.  Subscribe to ScreenLex's podcast to make
sure you catch each new item!

http://www.screenlex.org/podcast.php

Or, if you use iTunes, search for ScreenLex there, or go directly to

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=215516686

ScreenLex seeks suggestions for terms/names to be added to its collection.
We also seek native speakers in languages other than English that would
contribute (accurate!) pronunciations.

And, of course, we welcome corrections or alternative pronunciations!

ScreenLex is a free service of the Telecommunication and Film Department,
the University of Alabama.  It is produced by Jeremy Butler and licensed

If you'd like a flier to hand out to students or post somewhere (anywhere!),
please pull up this PDF file and print it:
