Syllabe
The document discusses various theories and concepts related to syllables, including:
1) Syllable structure consists of an onset, nucleus and coda. The nucleus is usually a vowel.
2) Sonority theory proposes that syllables correspond to peaks in airflow, with more sonorous segments like vowels forming syllable nuclei.
3) Prominence theory defines syllables as speech units with peaks of prominence from factors like stress, duration and pitch.
4) Chest pulse theory associates syllables with increases in air pressure during speech.
Phonology: Phones, Syllables & Phonotactics
This document discusses phonology, focusing on phones, phonemes, and phonotactic constraints. It defines phones as different realizations of phonemes and explains that speakers of the same language understand each other despite individual pronunciation variations because they recognize sound patterns. Phonotactics refers to constraints on permissible sound sequences and syllable structures. Languages have constraints on consonant clusters and specific positions in syllables. The document provides examples of phonotactic rules and constraints in English.
Phonological processes
1) Phonological processes are sound changes that occur in spoken language. This document discusses several English phonological processes including aspiration of consonants, flapping of /t/ and /d/, vowel lengthening before voiced consonants, and assimilation which causes sounds to become more similar to neighboring sounds.
2) The document also covers sound changes involving insertion, deletion, or modification of sounds within words through processes like epenthesis, metathesis, apocope, syncope, and apophony which involve internal changes to indicate grammatical information.
3) Examples of sound changes from other languages like Spanish and Tagalog are provided to illustrate how these phonological processes can vary across languages.
Weak,Strong Syllables
The document discusses weak and strong syllables in English. A strong syllable has a full vowel as its nucleus, while a weak syllable typically contains the reduced vowel schwa. The most common vowel in weak syllables is schwa, represented as /ÉTM/. Other vowels found in weak syllables include a close front vowel similar to /i/ and a close back vowel similar to /u/. These vowels are difficult to distinguish from their strong counterparts /i:/ and /u:/. Spellings can provide clues as to which vowel would be present if the syllable was strong. Weak syllables tend to have shorter, less intense vowels compared to strong syllables.
Phonetic and phonology concepts
This document provides an overview of key concepts in phonetics and phonology. It defines phonetics as the study of physical aspects of speech sounds and phonology as how speech sounds are organized into patterns and systems. It discusses concepts like voicing, manner and place of articulation, vowels, diphthongs, phonemes, allophones, syllables, consonants, consonant clusters, homophones, homographs, and places and manners of articulation including bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar, and glottal. It provides examples for each concept.
Intro to Phonology
This document discusses key concepts in phonology, the study of sound systems in language. It defines phonology and phonetics, with phonology dealing with how sounds are organized in a language and phonetics concerning physical properties of sounds. Phonemes are classes of sounds perceived as the same, while allophones are variant realizations of the same phoneme. Contrastive sounds distinguish meaning, while complementary and free variant sounds do not. Distribution and minimal pairs are used to determine if sounds are contrastive.
Phonetics & phonology (The way Vowels and Consonant of English are articulated)
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It defines phonetics as the scientific study of human speech sounds, including their production (articulatory phonetics), transmission (acoustic phonetics), and reception (auditory phonetics). Phonology is the study of how speech sounds are organized and used in a particular language. The document outlines the major consonant sounds in English, including plosives, fricatives, nasals, affricates, laterals, and approximants/semi-vowels. It emphasizes that phonetics examines speech sounds in general, while phonology focuses on how a language organizes those sounds.
Weak ,Strong Syllables2
The document discusses weak and strong syllables in English. Weak syllables tend to be unstressed and may contain reduced vowel sounds like schwa. They often occur in function words like "the" and prefixes/suffixes. Strong syllables are stressed and have clearer vowel sounds. The types of segments that can make up syllables and examples of words with different syllable structures are provided.

The types of segments that can make up syllables and examples of words with different syllable structures are provided.
Articulation
There are eight places of articulation for sounds in the mouth. Bilabial sounds are produced with the lips, like /p/ and /b/. Labiodental sounds involve the lower lip and upper teeth, like /f/ and /v/. Dental sounds use the tongue tip and upper teeth, like /θ/ and /ð/. Alveolar sounds are made by raising the tongue to the alveolar ridge, producing sounds like /t/, /s/, /n/, and /l/. Palatoalveolar sounds raise the tongue blade higher in the mouth, like /ʃ/ and /ʒ/. Velar sounds raise the back of the tongue to the soft palate and include /k
Phonetics and phonology
This document provides information about phonetics and phonology. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and their production, combination, and description, while phonology is concerned with how patterns of speech sounds create meaning. It discusses the branches of phonetics including articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics. It also explains that phonetics studies the physical properties of sounds, while phonology studies abstract sound patterns and systems. The document provides the definition of key terms like phoneme and includes examples of a phonemic chart and International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) chart.
Syllable and syllabification
The document discusses the concept of the syllable in phonology. It defines a syllable as a unit of sound that is larger than a phoneme but smaller than a word. A syllable typically consists of three elements - the onset, nucleus (peak), and coda. The nucleus is obligatory and is usually a vowel or syllabic consonant, while the onset and coda are optional consonant segments. There are also discussions around different theories that attempt to define the syllable, such as theories based on sonority, prominence, or chest pulses during speech. The document also examines issues relating to syllable structure, types (open vs. closed), weight (light vs. heavy), and syllabification in English words.
Phonetics
This document provides an overview of phonetics and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It discusses the objectives of learning phonetics, including understanding the relationship between sounds and spelling. It describes acoustic, auditory, and articulatory phonetics. It explains that a good phonetic alphabet should represent each sound with a unique symbol and distinguish between sounds that change word meanings. The document also describes the human vocal tract and organs involved in speech production. It details the phonetic classification of English consonants and vowels, including place and manner of articulation. Key aspects of the IPA are presented, including charts of consonant and vowel symbols.
Allophone presentation
This document discusses phonology and the relationship between phonemes and allophones. It defines phonemes as the smallest units of sound that distinguish meaning, while allophones are predictable variants of phonemes that are conditioned by their context. Phonemes group sets of similar-sounding allophones. For example, [p] and [ph] in English are allophones of the same /p/ phoneme because they occur in complementary distribution and can be substituted without changing a word's meaning. Allophones are phonetic realizations of phonemes that follow language-specific rules.
The Analysis of Syllable
This document analyzes the structure of syllables in English. It defines a syllable as a rhythmic unit with an obligatory vowel nucleus that can be preceded by an onset and followed by a coda of optional consonant sounds. Examples of mono-, di-, and polysyllabic words are provided. The significance of syllables for language rhythm, stress patterns, and permissible phoneme combinations is discussed. Syllabic consonants and the process of syllabification for dividing multisyllabic words are also explained.
Vowels

The Sounds of Language
This document discusses phonetics, the scientific study of human speech sounds. It covers the three branches of phonetics: articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics. It also describes the classification of consonant sounds according to their voicing, place of articulation in the mouth, and manner of articulation. Vowel sounds are described based on their tongue position and lip rounding. An activity section applies this knowledge by providing consonant sounds and their phonetic transcription, voicing, place and manner of articulation.
Coarticulation
Coarticulation refers to the overlapping articulatory movements that occur during speech production, which affect how neighboring sounds are pronounced. When speaking, the vocal tract is constantly changing shape to produce different sounds, with the articulators always performing motions for multiple sounds at once rather than individually. This allows for speeds of 10-15 segments per second, making rapid speech possible. Coarticulation also aids speech perception by making the connections between sounds smoother.
Latest Development On Phonetics And Phonology
This document provides an overview of the history and development of phonology as an academic field of study. It discusses early work in phonetics before the 20th century, the concept of the phoneme, developments in North American phonology in the late 19th/early 20th century, and several influential theories and approaches that emerged throughout the 20th century including generative phonology, autosegmental phonology, and metrical phonology. The document aims to outline the major currents of theory that have shaped the discipline of phonology over time.
Phonology phonological features of english vowels
The document discusses phonological features of English vowels. It explains that features are theoretical constructs used to analyze phonemes. Features must have a descriptive function to capture phonetic properties, a contrastive function to distinguish phonemes, and a classificatory function to group similar phonemes. The major features discussed are [±sonorant], [±continuant], [±consonantal], height features like [±high] and [±low], and vocalic features like [±back], [±round], and [±tense]. Redundancy rules are also used to make the feature system more economical by predicting predictable features.
Elision
Elision is defined as the omission of sounds, either vowels or consonants, in certain contexts. It is a type of economy of articulation where phonemes are realized as zero or deleted in fast, connected speech. Vowel elision most commonly occurs when the following consonant is liquid or glide. Elision is a process of sound reduction that occurs for ease of articulation between connected sounds.
Phonetics and phonology
Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that studies the sounds of speech, their production and representation through writing. Phonology relies on this phonetic information but focuses on how sound patterns in speech and communication create meaning for a particular language by determining which sounds are significant for native speakers. Phonology also studies how sounds and meaning are transmitted between languages through comparative linguistic analysis of cognates.
Aspects Of Connected Speech
1) Weak forms occur when commonly used words like prepositions and conjunctions are unstressed in connected speech. Their vowels shift towards a schwa sound.
2) Yod coalescence is where /j/ assimilates to a preceding /t/ or /d/ sound, like "but you" becoming "betcha".
3) Elision omits sounds like /t/ between consonants or in contractions like "can't". Assimilation changes sounds to match neighboring sounds.
Historical Linguistics
The document discusses different types of language change, including changes in vocabulary and the meanings of words. It outlines several processes by which vocabulary changes, such as coinage, compounding and affixation, conversion, clipping, blending, acronyms, and backformations. It also describes two main types of semantic change: extension and narrowing of meaning, as well as grammaticalization. Speakers adapt language over time to meet changing communicative needs, and new words can be created through various morphological and semantic processes.
Morphological rules- Sarah Saneei
This document discusses morphological rules and patterns. It begins by examining different types of morphological patterns, including concatenative patterns involving affixation and compounding, and non-concatenative patterns involving base modification. It also discusses reduplication and conversion. The document then discusses two approaches to formulating morphological rules - a morpheme-based model that emphasizes similarities between morphology and syntax, and a word-based model that minimizes those similarities. The goal is to create a system of rules that accurately models speakers' linguistic knowledge.
phonology Chapter 8
This document discusses key concepts in phonology, including:
1. Phonology studies the distribution and interaction of sounds in a language, as well as how speech sounds are organized. It examines which sounds are predictable and the context that predicts them.
2. Phonetics studies how speech sounds are physically produced and perceived, while phonology studies how they are organized in a language.
3. Phonemes are abstract sound categories that underlie predictable phonetic variations called allophones. Choosing the underlying phonemic representation considers factors like naturalness, similarity between sounds, and how well it fits the language's patterns.
4. Phonological rules describe the environment where one sound becomes another, linking
aspects of connected speech
This document discusses various aspects of connected speech in English. It describes how sounds change between isolated words and words in normal conversation due to processes like weak forms, rhythm, assimilation, elision, linking, and juncture. Weak forms refer to unstressed syllables being pronounced as a schwa. Rhythm involves stress patterns that give a sense of movement. Assimilation changes sounds due to surrounding sounds. Elision omits sounds for fluency. Linking connects words where they meet. Understanding these connected speech processes is important for natural pronunciation and listening comprehension of native English speakers.
Syllable definition and_description
The syllable is the basic unit of speech that is studied both phonetically and phonologically. [1] Phonetically, the syllable consists of a center with little airflow obstruction (usually a vowel) surrounded by segments with greater obstruction. [2] Phonologically, the prevailing view is that the syllable has a hierarchical structure with three constituents - the Onset, Peak (nucleus/vowel), and Coda. [3] This structure can be represented graphically using tree diagrams.
Chapter # 6- Sound patterns of language
This document discusses key concepts in phonology:
- Phonology is the scientific study of the sound system and patterns of a language. It examines phonemes, phones, allophones, minimal pairs, phonotactics, syllables, clusters, co-articulation, assimilation, and elision.
- Phonemes are the minimal meaningful units of sound that distinguish one word from another. Phones are phonetic units that can vary allophonically. Phonotactics govern permissible sound combinations.
- Other concepts covered include minimal pairs, which differ in one phoneme; minimal sets, which vary a single phoneme; assimilation, where sounds influence each other; and elision, the non-pronunciation
Phonetics phonology
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and includes three branches: articulatory phonetics examines sound production, acoustic phonetics studies sound transmission, and auditory phonetics looks at sound perception. Phonology analyzes the system of phonemes, or abstract units of sound, that make meaningful distinctions in a language. Phonemes have allophones as different phonetic realizations. Allophones are in complementary distribution if they occur in different environments or show free variation if they occur in the same environment without meaning differences. Suprasegmental phonology examines stress, rhythm, and intonation across segments.
Phonetics and phonology, Tones, Dipthongs
Received Pronunciation (RP) is considered the standard British English accent. It is an accent, not a dialect, as RP speakers use Standard English. There are 20 vowels in English that can be divided into 12 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs. Vowels are classified based on tongue position and lip rounding. Word stress helps distinguish grammatical functions and morphological structures in English. Suprasegmental features like stress, tone, and rhythm are important for meaningful speech. Intonation involves pitch changes and conveys meanings through tones like falling, rising, and fall-rise.

It continues explaining other English allophonic processes like aspiration, nasal plosion, devoicing, vowel changes, and retraction. The key difference between phonemes and allophones is that phone
Phonology
This document discusses the key differences between phonetics and phonology. Phonetics deals with the physical properties of speech sounds, while phonology examines how sounds are organized into systems within languages. It defines phonology as the description of sound patterns in a language, focusing on abstract mental representations rather than physical sounds. The document introduces important phonological concepts like phonemes, allophones, minimal pairs, phonotactics, syllables, and co-articulation effects like assimilation and elision.
Phonology chapter 8
The sounds [w] and [ʍ] in the given words are allophones of the same phoneme. They are in complementary distribution, with [w] occurring after vowels and [ʍ] occurring word-initially. The phonological rule is that the phoneme is realized as [w] in the environment of _V (after a vowel) and as [ʍ] elsewhere, specifically word-initially. As they do not contrast meaningfully in any context, [w] and [ʍ] are considered variants of the same underlying phoneme.

Vowels, diphthongs, and consonants are defined and examples of each are provided.
Phoentics slideshow of English Language!
This document provides an overview of phonetics, the study of speech sounds, covering the following key points:
1. English has more letters than speech sounds, leading to inconsistencies in spelling. Phonetics studies all possible human sounds while phonology studies meaningful sound contrasts in a language.
2. Phonetics can be articulatory, acoustic, or auditory. Phonemes are abstract sound units while phones are actual speech sounds which may have allophonic variants.
3. Consonants are classified by voice, place and manner of articulation. Vowels are classified by tongue position. Grimm's Law describes sound shifts in early Germanic languages.

7_340-Phonemics (1).ppt
This document discusses phonemes and allophones. It defines a phoneme as a minimal class of phones that contrast meaning between utterances. Most languages have 50 or fewer phonemes. It notes that the phones in a phoneme can vary between languages. It then gives examples of how phonemic categories differ between English and Spanish for r, l, b and v. The document defines allophones as phones within the same phoneme. It states the goals of phonemic analysis are to identify phonemes, allophones and their distribution. It describes free variation and complementary distribution of allophones and gives examples of phonetic contexts that determine allophone use.

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and reception. It deals with describing, classifying, and transcribing the sounds used in human speech. Phonetics analyzes the basic physical segments of speech, called phones, and the abstract linguistic units called phonemes that distinguish meaning. Phones are transcribed between brackets [ ] while phonemes use slashes / /. There are several types of speech sounds classified by their place of articulation in the mouth, including bilabials, labiodentals, alveolars, velars, interdentals, and palatals.

Phonology
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. It involves identifying the phonemes, or smallest units of sound, that make up words, and describing how combinations of phonemes are used to create meaning. Phonology also examines phonological processes like allophones, which are variations in pronunciation of the same phoneme, and rules that govern how phonemes are combined into syllables and words with correct stress patterns. The international phonetic alphabet is used to represent sounds in a standardized way across languages.
Nurlen Power point Phoneme
The document discusses the segmental and supra-segmental sounds of English. Segmental sounds are the individual phonemes - consonants and vowels - that make up words. The document lists the 24 English consonant phonemes and 14 vowel phonemes. It also describes length in consonants and vowels. Supra-segmental sounds are effects like pitch, stress, and juncture that extend over multiple segments. The document discusses symbols and transcription for sounds.
Phonology
This document discusses phonology and phonetics. Phonology is the study of sound patterns in language, while phonetics is the physical properties and production of speech sounds. A phoneme is a meaningful sound unit in a language, represented between slashes. An allophone is a phonetic realization of a phoneme. For example, the 'p' sound in 'paper' and 'spill' are allophones of the phoneme /p/ in English. Phonemes contrast meaning between words, like 'rowing' vs. 'mowing', while allophones do not change meaning. The minimal pairs test examines if two sounds can change the meaning of words when swapped, like "take" vs. "tape".
Phonetics Phonology
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology in the English language. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and describes the key areas of articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics. Consonants and vowels are examined in terms of their place and manner of articulation. Suprasegmentals like stress, tone, length, and intonation are also discussed. Phonology is defined as how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another. Common phonological rules in English like aspiration, flapping, assimilation, and deletion are presented. The document concludes with tips and resources for teaching English pronunciation.
Intro to Linguistic.pptx
This document discusses various topics related to linguistics including:
- Group 1 members Ervina Nur M, Sofiatul bahiroh, and Yenni rahmawati.
- Definitions of language including it being a system of communication using sounds and words with meaning.
- Characteristics of language including it being systematic, using signs and sounds, having meaning, and being unique yet universal.
- Descriptive and prescriptive grammar as well as subdisciplines of linguistics.
- Phonetics topics including segmental features, suprasegmental features, places and manners of articulation for consonants and vowels.
Phonology to be used
Phonology is the study of the sounds of human language and their patterns. It includes the study of phonemes, or distinctive sounds, and allophones, or predictable variants of phonemes. Phonotactics examines permissible sound combinations in a language. Morphophonemics describes how sounds change due to neighboring sounds or morphology. For example, the plural morpheme in English can be /s/, /z/, or /əz/ depending on preceding sounds.
Phonology333
Phonology is the study of sound patterns in language. It examines how speech sounds are organized and interact within and across words. Phonology analyzes phonological processes such as assimilation, deletion, and stress assignment. It also considers phonological units like phonemes, allophones, and phonotactic constraints. Phonological knowledge allows speakers to produce and understand the sounds of their language.
Phonetics & phonology
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, including how they are produced (articulatory phonetics), transmitted (acoustic phonetics), and perceived (auditory phonetics). Phonology examines how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another based on systems of phonemes and allophones according to phonological rules and processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, insertion, and deletion. Key distinctions between consonants and vowels include place and manner of articulation for consonants versus tongue placement, height, lip rounding, and tenseness for vowels.
Class phonetics and phonology - phoneme
This document discusses the fields of phonetics and phonology. Phonetics deals with the physical properties of speech sounds, while phonology deals with how sounds are organized into systems and patterns within languages. It provides examples of how different languages, like English, Korean, and Bangla, distinguish words using different realizations of the same sounds. Native speakers have unconscious knowledge of the phonological rules of their language that allow them to distinguish words.
Phonology Introduction
Phonology is the study of sound systems in languages. It has four branches: segmental phonology which analyzes speech into discrete segments like phonemes; suprasegmental phonology which analyzes features over multiple segments like intonation and stress; diachronic phonology which studies sound patterns through a language's history; and synchronic phonology which studies sound patterns regardless of historical change. Phonology also examines phones which are minimal speech units, phonemes which are distinctive minimal units, and allophones which are variants of phonemes that occur in different phonetic environments. A syllable contains a sonority peak like a vowel with optional onset and coda consonants. Syllable structure and distinctive features are also

Intonational styles
This document describes five different intonational styles of speech: informational, academic, publicistic, declamatory, and conversational. Each style has a different purpose and characteristic prosodic features. The informational style conveys information without emotion and has a low, stable pitch. The academic style is used for lectures and discussions and has systematic rhythm. The publicistic style aims to influence and involve listeners with a variety of pitches and volumes. The declamatory style appeals to both the mind and emotions with descriptive pitch movements. Finally, the conversational style is relaxed and unpredictable with irregular rhythm. Mastering these intonational styles can improve communication.
Syllable Structure in MSA
This document discusses syllable structure in Modern Standard Arabic and colloquial Arabic. It defines a syllable as containing at least one vowel, and optionally beginning or ending with one or more consonants. It identifies different syllable types in MSA such as light (CV), heavy (CVV, CVC, CVVC), and super-heavy (CVCC). It notes that long syllables tend to occur in pre-final or final position in both MSA and colloquial Arabic. Examples of common syllable patterns are provided for each dialect. The document also provides notes on vowel phonology and changes between MSA and colloquial syllable structure.
Early Language Acquisition
This document provides an overview of early language acquisition in infants, including prelinguistic communication and early phonology. It discusses how infants begin to communicate before one year through gestures and comprehend language through actions. It also explains the development of speech perception and production in infants. Key points include: infants display categorical perception of speech sounds from birth; perceptual abilities decline somewhat with age and exposure to the native language; and babbling and the use of intonation develop rapidly in the first year.

Respiratory & Phonatory Systems
The document discusses how different degrees of hearing loss impacted children's speech. Children with more severe hearing impairments were much harder to understand and had poorer vowel and consonant quality. Their speech was more affected. Children with milder hearing losses were easier to understand but sometimes struggled with sounds like 's, sh, f'. Those with more severe losses also often had a different vocal quality. The degree of hearing loss and which frequencies were affected determined how a child's specific hearing loss impacted their speech.
Syllable
This document provides an overview of syllables, including their nature, structure in English, and principles of syllable division. It defines a syllable phonetically as consisting of an onset, nucleus, and coda. The English syllable structure is described as having optional onsets with one or more consonants and codas with up to four consonants. Principles of maximal onsets and sonority are introduced for dividing syllables between words. Examples demonstrate possible consonant combinations in onsets, codas, and ambisyllabic consonants.
