This document provides information on phonetic transcription and IPA symbols. It includes charts of English vowels and consonants and their typical phonetic transcriptions. It then discusses exercises to practice distinguishing vowel and consonant sounds, including lessons on vowel digraphs and diphthongs, as well as rules for transcribing suffixes like -ed and -s. The document also covers diacritic marks used to indicate modifications in consonant articulation, such as dentalization, palatalization, and velarization.
In this presentation you will find a brief explanation on how English vowel sounds are produced, their articulation and a summary on their graphic representation.

Intro. to Linguistics_7 Phonetics (Phonetics Transcription and Suprasegmental)Edi Brata
This slide is seventh session of Introduction to Linguistics. This course is about Phonetics Transcription and Supra-segmental Features of sounds. It is the second of two topics of phonetics course.
Phonological rules in the English Language.
A comparison of narrow and broad transcription is summarized.
A definition of phonological rule and specific examples of common rules of the English language with words that illustrate each.
Now we have moved on from looking at syllables to looking at words, and we will consider certain well-known English forms that can be pronounced in two different ways; these are called strong forms and weak forms.
Strong Form is the full form of word pronounced with stress.
Weak forms are sounds that become unstressed in connected speech and are often then pronounced as a schwa.

Teaching pronunciation to English learners is more than "repeat after me" and more than theory and looking at pictures. Let's take a multisensory approach.
Syllable structure constitutes the component of phonological word division focused on pronounceable segments of words and how they are composed, divided, and distributed.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Charts
English vowels:
The labels “Front”, “Central”, and “Back” refer to the
part of the tongue. The terms “High”, “Mid”, and “Low”
describe the position the tongue assumes for a given
vowel. For example, the vowels in hip, heap and hippy
are highfront vowels: /hɪp/ /hiːp/ /hɪpi/.
3. English consonants:
The labels in the upper row (“Bilabial”, “Labiodental”, etc.) refer to
the articulator, or part of the mouth involved in the articulation of a
consonant. The terms in the column on the left (“Plosives”,
“Fricatives”, etc.) describe the manner of articulation for a given
consonant. Consonants on the right side in each column are voiced,
and the ones to the left are voiceless. For example, the consonant
/p/ is a voiceless plosive bilabial.

/riːm/ /rɪm/ /diːm/ /dɪm/ /liːk/ /lɪk/
14. Vowels /ə/, /ʌ/ and /æ/
/ə/ (the “schwa”) is the most frequent vowel in
English.
It usually appears in unstressed syllables, but
never in stressed syllables: about, afraid,
confuse, etc.
It is not associated with any specific letter in the
spelling (in fact, it can be spelled with any vowel
letter: ability, seven, dinosaur, suppose)
The indefinite article a/an is pronounced with
the schwa: /ə bed/, /ən æpəl/.
15. /æ/ is usually spelled as the letter “a”: ban,
cat, dab, hag, stack, tab, etc.
/ʌ/ is usually spelled as the letter “u”: bun,

touch, country, cousin, young, couple, double,
trouble.
18. Past /d/, /t/, or /ɪd/
After unvoiced sounds such as p, k, f, s, sh,
and ch the final -ed is pronounced like t as in the
word cat. Note that the -e remains silent.
e.g. p help helped f stuff stuffed, laugh laughed s
miss missed dice diced , fix fixed
After voiced sounds such as b, , g, v, z, , , m, n,
ŋ, l, and r the final -ed sound is pronounced like d
as in good. Note that the -e remains silent.
e.g. b grab grabbed g hug hugged v save
saved z ooze oozed, please pleased
19. The final -ed is also pronounced like the d in
good after all vowel sounds. Note that the -e
remains silent.
e.g. stay stayed, free freed, lie lied
For verbs ending in d and t the final -ed is
pronounced Id as in the final two letters of the
word did. Note that here the -e is not silent and
this final -ed sound adds another syllable to the
end of the verb.
E.g. add added, grade graded, decide decided
21. plural /z/, /s/, or /ɪz/
If the noun ends in an unvoiced consonant
sound: /f/, /k/, /p/, /t/, /th/-(thin), pronounce "s" as
/s/.
When it ends in a voiced consonant sound,
/b/, /d/, /g/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /ng/, /r/ or with a vowel
sound, /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, pronounce "s" as /z/.
If it ends with /s/, /z/, /sh/, /ch/-chair, /zh/-the
second "g" in garage, /dz/-(j), pronounce "s" or
"-es" as /iz/.
23. Diacritics Used with
Consonants
Changes in Place of Articulation for
Consonants.
These symbols describe deviations from normal
tongue placement for consonants.
24. Dentalization.
Dentalization refers to an articulatory variation in
which the tongue approaches the upper incisors.
It is marked by [ ] placed under the IPA symbol.
For example,
the symbol [d] stands for a coronal alveolar voiced
stop.
widow and width.
FORMULA
Dentalization rule
[-dental] → [+dental] ∕ ___________ [+
dental]
25.
26. Palatalization
Another modification of consonant articulation is
palatalization. Only sounds for which the palate is
not the place of articulation can be palatalized.
The diacritical mark for palatalization is a
superscript j added
to the right of the basic IPA symbol.
Ch, dz, 3, sh
S sound in question
FORMULA:
[-palatal] → [+palatal] ∕ ___________ [+ palatal]
27. Velarization.
Velarization refers to the posterior movement of
the tongue placement (in the direction of the
velum) for palatal sounds.
The diacritical mark for velarization is a
superscript γ placed to the right of the IPA
symbol.
FORMULA:
[-velar] → [velar] ∕ ___________ [+ velar]
since [sins] silk [silk]
mince [mins] milk [milk]
28. Voice Symbols
Aspiration and Nonaspiration
Syllabic Consonants.
Unstressed syllables easily become reduced
syllables. This means that their vowel nucleus
practically disappears.
If the vowel nucleus is reduced, the following
consonant becomes a syllabic; that is, it becomes
the peak of that syllable.
“little” [l tl ]
“scratching” [skr tʃn ]
