The document summarizes key aspects of Australian English. It notes that Australian English has borrowed words from Australian Aboriginal languages, such as boobook and dingo. It was influenced by the influx of Irish and American immigrants in the 1800s, bringing words like "tucker" meaning food. Phonologically, Australian English is non-rhotic and undergoes processes like yod-coalescence and flapping of intervocalic t. Vowel pronunciations also differ from Received Pronunciation as in "bad" and "tan" having long vowels.

Australian English vs. Standard British English
This document summarizes key aspects of the phonology of Australian English (AusE). It discusses the vowel and consonant systems of AusE compared to Received Pronunciation (RP), noting differences in vowel quality and length. It also describes three social varieties of AusE - Broad, General, and Cultivated - and their associations with class, gender, and geography. Additionally, it examines the high rising tone feature of AusE and debates about its social meanings and prevalence among younger speakers. Sources consulted for the information are also listed.
Canada
Canadian English is a hybrid of British and American Englishes that has also been influenced by French. It developed from four major waves of immigration and combines spelling conventions from both British and American English. Regionally, Western and Central Canadian dialects exhibit rhoticity like in American English, while words of French origin retain their original French pronunciation.
Standard English compared to Australian English
Standard British English and Australian English share many similarities but also have some differences. Both originated from English spoken in the late 18th century, but Australian English developed its own distinctive vocabulary, pronunciation, and accent over time. It is influenced by words borrowed from early settlers and slang terms invented in Australia. While the core grammar and many words are the same, Australian English has a more nasal quality and rising intonation compared to the clipped British accent. Both dialects drop the "r" sound at the end of words and remain generally mutually intelligible.
Canadian english ppp
Canadian English has several distinguishing features from other forms of English:
- It has two official languages, English and French, as well as several indigenous languages.
- Spelling follows some British conventions like colour and centre but also incorporates some American spellings.
- Pronunciation is generally rhotic like American English but also exhibits features like Canadian raising.
- Vocabulary is mostly similar to American English but includes some distinct words like loonie, click, and chesterfield.
- Grammar has a mixture of rules from British and American English regarding article and possessive use.
- Informal speech includes interjections like eh and slang words like hoser that are characteristically Canadian.
English accents around the world
The document discusses several English accents and dialects around the world, including Welsh English, London British English, Australian English, South African English, Irish English, and Texas American English. It provides information on the vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, and other linguistic characteristics of each variety. Videos are included that exemplify the different accents.

Scottish english
Scottish English resulted from language contact between Scots and Standard English after the 17th century. It was influenced by events like the Reformation, the introduction of printing, King James VI becoming King James I of England and moving his court to London, and the Acts of Union in 1707. Scottish English has distinct phonological, grammatical, and lexical features compared to other English varieties. Phonologically, it is mostly rhotic and distinguishes vowels before /r/ that other dialects have merged. Grammatically, it uses progressive verb forms more and different prepositions. Lexically, it has inherited words from Scots and Gaelic and uses diminutives like "-ie".
British and American English
The document discusses the evolution of American and British English from a shared origin in Old English brought to America by early settlers in the 1600s, to the development of distinct dialects over time due to divergent influences, with Noah Webster playing a key role in standardizing American English through his dictionaries in the early 1800s.

A guide to the differences between american english and british english
This document provides an introduction to the major differences between British and American English, including spelling, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and culture. It explains that while the two varieties are largely mutually intelligible, there are noticeable differences in accent, terminology, idioms, syntax, and spelling. Many of these divergences developed as the American colonists adapted the English language to their new environment, incorporating words from indigenous languages and immigrant groups. Over time, American English preserved some archaic features and underwent innovations, while British English continued changing independently back in Britain. Noah Webster played a key role in promoting distinctively American spellings. Today, with American cultural influence spreading globally, many British words and expressions are being influenced by American English.

Basic English phonetics
This document discusses basic English phonetics. It begins by explaining why the study of phonetics is important, as English pronunciation and spelling differ and knowledge of phonetics allows one to pronounce new words. It then defines phonetics as the study of human speech and discusses the International Phonetic Alphabet used to represent sounds. The document goes on to explain English vowels and diphthongs, as well as consonants. It notes differences between pronunciations of British and American English. The document also discusses stress, connected speech, and some main difficulties for Spanish speakers in pronouncing English sounds.
Further exercises phonetics and phonology
This document contains exercises on phonetic transcription and phonology. It includes tasks like writing phonetic symbols for sounds in words, transcribing words phonetically, identifying errors in phonetic transcriptions, matching phonetic symbols to descriptions, comparing phonetic features of sounds, and applying phonological rules. The exercises analyze phonetic details in English at the level of sounds, syllables, words, and sentences.
Monopthongs (PRONUNCIATION)
This document discusses monophthongs, or pure vowels, in English pronunciation. It defines monophthongs as vowels produced with a single, consistent mouth position and tone. The document then divides English monophthongs into two categories: long vowels (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) and short vowels (ă, ĕ, ĭ, ŏ, ŭ). It provides phonetic symbols and examples to illustrate the pronunciation of each monophthong. The document also discusses other English vowel sounds like schwa and r-controlled vowels, and clarifies the difference between short and long vowels.
Vowels
Vowels are speech sounds produced without obstruction in the vocal tract. There are 20 vowels in English, which are either pure (monophthongs) or impure (diphthongs). Vowels are described by tongue height and position, and lip position. They can be short or long. Long vowels take two dots in front of them in phonetic transcription, while short vowels do not. The document then provides examples of common spellings and phonetic transcriptions for each English vowel sound. It discusses tongue height and position in more detail, and concludes by summarizing the description of English vowels and emphasizing that the analysis refers to sounds rather than letters.
Principal types of english pronunciation
The document discusses the principal types and variations of English pronunciation. It notes that there are four components of phonetic structure - phonemic, syllabic, accentual, and intonational - that constitute a language's pronunciation. Accents refer solely to pronunciation differences, whereas dialects involve differences in vocabulary, grammar, and word order as well. There are many accents within England, Britain, and across the other regions of the UK, with Northern and Southern accents being a broad distinction in England. The study of variations in accents was traditionally part of dialectology, which aimed to identify all geographical differences in a language.
Vowels
This document discusses vowels in English. It notes that vowels are sounds produced with an unobstructed air stream through the vocal tract. There are approximately 14-15 vowel sounds in American English, represented by 5 vowel letters, though each letter can represent multiple sounds. Some vowels are diphthongs that involve a change in tongue position from one vowel sound to another within the same syllable.
Vowels
Here are 10 common spellings each for the long vowel /i:/ and short vowel /i/ in English:
/i:/
ee, as in tree
ea, as in leaf
ie, as in chief
e, as in machine
e_e, as in these
ey, as in they
ei, as in seize
eigh, as in eight
i, as in police
y, as in rhyme
/i/
i, as in bit
y, as in happy
ie, as in friend
igh, as in high
e, as in women

Grade 9 The Sounds of English (Segmental Phonology)
The document discusses the sounds of General American English. It is divided into three main sections: vowels, diphthongs, and consonants. For vowels, there are 11 distinct vowel sounds. Diphthongs combine two vowel sounds within one syllable, and there are three diphthong sounds in English. Consonants are speech sounds made with partial or full obstruction of air flow, and there are 25 consonant sounds classified as either voiced or voiceless.
English vowel , monothongs, diphthong, triphthongs
The document discusses English vowel sounds, including monophthongs, diphthongs, and triphthongs. It provides:
- A list of 12 monophthongs (pure vowel sounds) in English, describing their place and manner of articulation.
- A list of 8 diphthongs (a combination of two vowel sounds within one syllable), categorizing them as centering or closing based on their movement in the vocal tract.
- A definition of triphthongs as a combination of three monophthongs within one syllable, giving 5 examples using closing diphthongs followed by a schwa.
Diagrams are provided to illustrate the articulation of monoph
Phonetics and Phonology: Long Vowels, Diphthongs and Thripthong
This document discusses long vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs in phonology. It defines long vowels as vowels that are longer than short vowels, and provides examples of the six long vowels in English. It then explains diphthongs as sounds consisting of a movement from one vowel to another, categorizing them as centering, closing, or ending diphthongs. Finally, it defines triphthongs as a glide from one vowel to another and then to a third vowel, providing examples of triphthongs in English.
Class 2
This document discusses the sounds /l/, /r/, and syllabic consonants. It notes that /l/ and /r/ are formed with more complex movements of the speech organs than most other consonants. It provides details on how English speakers typically produce the /l/ sound by moving the tongue tip towards or away from the tooth ridge. The document also explains that /l/ and /r/ movements occur farther back in the mouth, especially after vowels, and an intermediary /ə/ sound is sometimes inserted between front vowels and /l/ or /r/. A variety of exercises are outlined to practice transcribing and producing words containing these sounds.
The english vowel system
This document provides an overview of the English vowel system compared to the Spanish vowel system. It notes that English has 12 vowel sounds while Spanish only has 5. It then proceeds to describe each English vowel sound in detail, including typical spellings, examples of words, and similarities or differences to Spanish vowel sounds to aid Spanish speakers in pronunciation. Tips are also provided for some of the most challenging vowels for Spanish learners.
Copy of the /n/, /ŋ/ and /ŋg/ sounds in english
This document provides a lesson on the pronunciation of the /n/, /ŋ/, and /ŋg/ sounds in English. It explains the tongue position for /n/ and /ŋ/, provides example words containing those sounds, and identifies minimal pairs to distinguish the sounds. It also discusses the difference between the /ŋ/ sound, as in "sing," and the /ŋg/ sound, as in "single," and provides spelling patterns that help determine whether "ng" is pronounced as /ŋ/ or /ŋg/. Examples are given for each sound and spelling pattern to help learners distinguish and practice the different sounds.
Vowels phonology
This document discusses vowel sounds and their phonetic representations. It provides examples of long and short vowel spellings in English words and identifies the vowel sounds used in 20 example words. The International Phonetic Alphabet was created by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century to provide a standardized system for representing sounds in oral languages. A vowel diagram arranges vowels based on the position of the tongue and lips used to produce each sound.
Caribbean
Caribbean English refers to the dialects of English spoken in the Caribbean region and parts of Central America. These dialects developed from 17th century English and African languages and show influence from Creole varieties. They vary significantly between countries but share some common features like different pronoun forms and dropping or stopping of initial 'h' sounds in words. Accents range from non-rhotic to rhotic and can be influenced by Irish, Welsh or Spanish as well as indigenous languages.
