Abstract
Abstract German pronunciation dictionaries provide codifications that claim to be accepted as standard. When it comes to foreign names and words, the two most established German pronunciation dictionaries and the ARD pronunciation database have rather oppositional approaches. This heterogeneous situation on the prescriptive side is mirrored by countless incidences of inconsistent pronunciations of foreign names in the media. Therefore, empirical studies like comparisons of dictionaries, analyses of media pronunciation as well as online preference polls are necessary to be able to find pronunciation rules for foreign names and words that can be accepted as standard in a German context.
