Editing Mondegreen (section)

===Notable collections===

The classicist and [[Linguistics|linguist]] Steve Reece has collected examples of English mondegreens in song lyrics, religious [[creeds]] and liturgies, commercials and advertisements, and jokes and riddles.  He has used this collection to shed light on the process of "junctural metanalysis" during the [[Oral tradition|oral transmission]] of the ancient Greek epics, the ''[[Iliad]]'' and ''[[Odyssey]]''.<ref>Steve Reece, ''Homer's Winged Words: The Evolution of Early Greek Epic Diction in the Light of Oral Theory'' (Leiden, Brill, 2009) esp. 351–358.</ref>
