 Language Log: Find that mystery mumbling phonetician
The story concerns Professor Daniel Jones, the distinguished founder of the Department of Phonetics at UCL (later the Department of Phonetics and Linguistics, where I taught for several years early in my career).
Jones, one of the most important figures in the entire history of phonetics, was once taken for a spy — in wartime, so this could have meant the firing squad.
On one of his rare trips to Wales, Jones was busily checking his phonetic transcriptions for the examinations, noting snatches of the Welsh conversation in the carriage, and practising "nonsense words" to himself.

 Standard Speech
If we consider the quoted passage in itself, Daniel Jones very explicitly and emphatically rejects one of the chief arguments used by the proponents of RP as a standard, the notion that the sounds of RP are naturally more pleasing to the ear than those of other English accents.
Daniel Jones's goal of being "widely understood" seems to be the proverbial bottom line on stage as well as in life.
As we have seen, Jones himself rejects all the obvious social arguments and leaves himself with only the benign observation that RP is "widely understood" as the reason for basing his dictionary on this accent pattern.

Jones however was the one who is credited with having solved the problem by introducing the concept of 'cardinal vowels', a system of reference vowels which are taught with much care in the British tradition.
(Most British-trained phoneticians can trace their teachers through to Jones.) Jones uses in his theory a two-parameter diagram to visualize how vowels are produced.
Jones also systematised the phonetic analysis of vowels—still known as the cardinal vowels.

This system of vowel classification was developed by the English phonetician Daniel Jones at the beginning of the 20th century.
It consists of 16 vowels, 8 front and 8 back vowels, each distinguished in turn by the presence or absence of lip-rounding (below the vowels to the left are unrounded, those to the right are rounded).
This arrangment can be used as a reference system when describing the vowel values which actually occur in a specific language.

 Vowel Theories   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Reference (cardinal) vowels on the periphery of the vowel quadrilateral were learned by rote from Jones.
When phoneticians listen to a audio recording of a vowel in an unknown language that is not found on the primary cardinal vowel "slice", they may not be able to tell whether the the vowel is a front rounded or a back unrounded vowel--they cannot separate position in the space from rounding.
Presumably, if phoneticians could have seen the faces of the speaker, they would show much more agreement.

There are various terms (homophony, homography, homonymy) to characterise the relationship between the written and the spoken form of words depending on what the match between the two is like.
In order to characterise vowels satisfactorily the cardinal vowel system was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century by the English phonetician Daniel Jones.
The basic principle is that extreme positions for the articulation of vowels are taken as reference points and all other possible vowel articulations are set in relation to them.
