Luciano Canepari [luˈtʃaːno ˌkaneˈpaːri] (b. 19 January 1947 in Venice), is a professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Venice. He received his academic training at that university. He developed a phonetic transcription system called canIPA ([kaˈniːpa]), based on the official IPA. The canIPA consists of 500 basic, 300 complementary and 200 supplementary symbols. It is a work in progress, intended to permit the transcription of all world languages in more exact detail than the official IPA.
His work was criticised by Alex Rotatori, a lecturer of English Phonetics, for being too complicated and for its concept of "International English", which Rotatori described as "a variety nowhere to be heard on this planet".[1] In response, Canepari published a strongly-worded denunciation of Rotatori's credentials as a phonetician and called him a "charlatan".[2]
