Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: received adj., pronunciation n.

Etymology: < received adj. + pronunciation n. Compare RP n. at R n. Initialisms 1.

The most commonly accepted or standard form of pronunciation; spec. the standard, most regionally neutral form of spoken British English, traditionally based on educated speech in southern England; abbreviated RP. Also: the form of pronunciation of a particular regional variety of English most similar to this.Since the late 20th cent., received pronunciation has been gradually lessening in social prestige, and is no longer used by many members of the social and professional groups with which it was traditionally associated. ‘Phoneticians in Britain generally agree that RP is spoken by about 3 per cent, possibly slightly more, of the population of Britain.’ (M. K. C. MacMahon in Cambr. Historical. Eng. Lang. (1998) IV. 395.)
