IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) was established by the International Phonetic Association in 1886 to standardize phonetic symbols across languages and enable accurate communication about pronunciation. It is used extensively by linguists, speech pathologists, and others for in-depth study of pronunciation. The IPA has expanded over time to cover additional sounds and languages, with major revisions occurring in 1900 to include Arabic sounds and 1932 to incorporate additional symbols.

of the alphabet.

6. Definition :
A suprasegmental is a vocal effect that extends
over more than one sound segment in an
utterance, such as pitch, stress, or juncture
pattern.
In contexts, suprasegmental is often used for
• Tone
• Vowel Length
• Features like nasalization and aspiration

7. Definition :
A syllable is the sound of a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) that is created
when pronouncing a word.
The letter 'y' can be counted as a vowel, only if it creates the sound of a
vowel (a, e, i, o, u). For example: fry, try, cry, & dry
Some words have two (or more) vowels next to each other. Other words
have vowels that are silent.
The number of times that you hear the sound of a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) is
equal to the number of syllables the word has.

8. The Listen Method
Say the word.
How many times do you hear "A, E, I, O, U" as a separate sound?
This is the number of syllables.
The Chin Method
Put your hand under your chin.
Say the word.
How many times does your chin touch your hand?
This is the number of syllables.
The Clap Method
Clapping may help you find syllables.
Say the word.
Clap each time you hear "A, E, I, O, U" as a separate sound.
The number of claps is the number of syllables.
The Robot Speak Method
Make believe you are a robot from the year 2000.
Say a word as this robot.
Pay attention to the pauses you make.
How many parts did you
This is the number of syllables.
The Written Method
Count the number of vowels (A, E, I, O, U) in the word.
Add 1 every time the letter 'y' makes the sound of a vowel (A, E, I, O, U).Subtract 1 for each silent vowel (like the silent 'e'
at the end of a word).
Subtract 1 for each diphthong or triphthong in the word.
Diphthong: when 2 volwels make only 1 sound (aw, oy, oo)Triphthong: when 3 volwels make only 1 sound (iou)
The number you are left with is the number of syllables in your word.

11. Tone is Pressure is high or low
tone pronunciation of a word.

14. Intonation is the rise and
fall of intonation.
Intonation serves as a
shaper of meaning
sentences

15. Example :
-Go (let me know)
-Go (shoo)
