Learner notes
Memory Tip
spokes- 像 speak（说话），person 是人：发言人就是替别人“说话的人”。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：news、official statements、corporate communications 该词为中性偏正式用语，通常用于新闻、官方声明或企业对外沟通等场合，比较常见于书面报道和正式发言，日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
chairperson、salesperson、layperson 和 person 均以与 spokesperson 相同的 -person 结尾，词尾都读 /pɝsən/；但它们与 spokesperson 不构成完整押韵，因为重音位置和重读元音不同。spokesman、spokeswoman 与 spokesperson 共享开头的 /spoʊks-/ 音，但结尾分别为 /mən/ 和 /wʊmən/，拼写相近而声音不同。注意 spokesperson 中的 /kspɝsən/ 应连贯读出，不是 spokes 和 person 两个词的简单拼接。
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 1，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
