Phonemes are units of sound in speech that combine to form words. There are 44 phonemes in English, consisting of 24 consonants and 20 vowels. Phonemes help distinguish one word from another. For example, the words "cat" and "phone" contain different phonemes that change the meaning. Allophones are variations in how a phoneme can be pronounced that do not change a word's meaning, like the "p" sound in "pin" and "spin". Minimal pairs are words that differ by only one phoneme, such as "tight" and "fight".
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.
This document provides an introduction to phonetics and discusses English vowels. It defines phonetics as the study of human speech sounds. It notes that English has short vowels, long vowels, and diphthongs. Examples of short vowels, long vowels, and diphthongs are given. The vowel sounds in example words like "father" and "void" are identified. The document asks the reader to identify the vowel sounds in additional words and hopes the reader enjoys learning about phonetics.
This Power Point Presentation defines terminology and visual tools relevant to pronunciation. It also applies Second Language Acquisition Theory, providing possible explanations of why some ELLs learn English pronunciation better than others.
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.
This document provides an introduction to phonetics and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It discusses the objectives of studying phonetics, which include understanding the relationship between sound and spelling and learning how speech sounds are produced in the vocal tract. The key topics covered are the branches of phonetics, articulatory phonetics and describing language sounds. It also outlines the characteristics of a good phonetic alphabet, describes the categories of consonants and vowels, and provides examples of phonetic transcription and the English consonant and vowel systems using IPA symbols.
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonetic transcription. It discusses the main subfields of phonetics, including articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and perceptual phonetics. It also outlines the articulatory apparatus and assumptions made in phonetic transcription. The document then describes the consonants and vowels of English, including their phonetic symbols and points of articulation. It introduces the concept of the sonority hierarchy and provides a phonetic chart showing English vowels based on formant frequencies.
Linguistics provides the foundation for language teaching by describing the components of a language, such as phonetics. While linguistics focuses on analyzing language in detail, language teaching applies linguistic concepts to instruct learners. Some language teachers may only have practical knowledge of a language without formal training in its linguistic structure. Understanding linguistics helps teachers identify areas learners need to develop, like pronunciation. This project gave the participants a new perspective on how phonetics, an important linguistic component, is relevant to developing English speaking and teaching skills.

This document discusses phonetics and the sounds of language. It covers vowels versus consonants, places and manner of articulation. It defines vowels as sonorous, syllabic sounds made with an open vocal tract compared to consonants. Vowels are produced by varying tongue placement and lip shaping. Vowels can also be rounded, nasalized, or tense/lax. Consonants are discussed in terms of places of articulation like labial, coronal, dorsal and manners of articulation like plosive, nasal, liquid, and glide. The document also covers simple vowels versus diphthongs, with diphthongs exhibiting a change in vowel quality within a single syllable.
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.

Phonology: The Sound Patterns of LanguageBabylen Arit
The document discusses several key concepts in phonology:
1. Phonology is concerned with how sounds function and pattern in a language. It describes how speech sounds are organized and affect one another in pronunciation.
2. Phonemes are abstract mental representations of sounds, not the physical sounds themselves. Minimal pairs can be used to identify phonemes by finding words that differ in only one sound.
3. Allophones are different versions of the same underlying phoneme. They are non-contrastive and found in complementary distribution, occurring in different phonetic environments.

1. Allomorphs are different pronunciations of the same morpheme. For example, the plural morpheme -s has allomorphs [s], [z], and [iz]. The choice of allomorph depends on phonological rules, not morphology.
2. Phonology is the study of sound patterns in a language. Each phoneme has one or more allophones, which are the actual sounds used in different environments. For example, [i] and [æ] are allophones of different vowel phonemes in English.
3. Allophones are phonetic realizations of phonemes that vary based on surrounding sounds. For example, the phoneme /t/ has
This document discusses consonant blends, digraphs, and trigraphs. It defines them as groups of letters that represent single sounds. Digraphs use two letters, trigraphs use three, and blends combine letters so you can hear each sound clearly joined together. Mastering these concepts helps with spelling and reading proficiency by learning to analyze sounds in words. The document provides examples and exercises to help readers distinguish between these letter combinations and apply their understanding.
This document discusses consonant sounds in English. It explains that there are 21 consonant phonemes that make up 24 total sounds. A phoneme chart is provided to illustrate the different graphemes that can represent each phoneme sound. The chart also uses color to group the phonemes into 6 categories based on how they are produced in the mouth: plosive, liquid, affricate, nasal, semi-vowel, and fricative. Learning activities are included to help readers practice identifying consonant sounds.
This document defines assimilation as a common phonological process where one sound becomes more like an adjacent sound. It occurs because the articulators in our speech are not capable of instantaneous movement. Examples of assimilation in English include /s/ becoming /ʃ/ before /j/ or /ʃ/, as in "bless you" and "this yacht." Assimilation also occurs in Kurdish, where sounds like /h æʃt/ become /hæʒdæ/ due to neighboring phonemes. The function of assimilation is to ease articulation as languages develop and sounds influence each other.
For basic understanding of knowing what syllable is.
Always use phonetic transcription(produce/ articulate the sounds in the word) to mark or identify syllables.
Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language that are used to distinguish meaning. In English there are approximately 44 phonemes represented by 26 letters and letter combinations. Phonemes can vary phonetically as allophones without changing the meaning, such as the "p" sound in "pin" and "spin" both being allophones of the phoneme "p". To identify the phonemes in a word, it must be segmented, or broken down, into its individual sounds.
This document provides guidance on teaching pronunciation to students. It begins with an introduction that explains common pronunciation errors students make and the importance of teaching pronunciation. It then outlines segmental and suprasegmental activities teachers can use. Segmental activities focus on individual sounds and include rhyming, minimal pairs, and hidden games. Suprasegmental activities teach features such as word stress, intonation, and misheard song lyrics through activities like stand up/sit down, adding arrows to songs, and guessing correct lyrics. The overall summary is that the document offers pronunciation teaching techniques including segmental and suprasegmental activities for teachers to use in the classroom.
This document provides an overview of easy ways to teach pronunciation to students. It discusses teaching the basic units of pronunciation like phonemes, stress, rhythm and intonation. It recommends using the International Phonetic Alphabet to teach pronunciation and provides examples of common vowel and consonant problems for Spanish speakers. A variety of activities are suggested, such as minimal pair drills, tongue twisters, dictation exercises and using authentic materials like rhymes, limericks and jazz chants. The document also covers word stress, rhythm, connected speech and intonation patterns.

The document outlines a framework for teaching pronunciation. It begins by describing common pronunciation problems students may have with words, stress, and intonation. It then discusses techniques for teaching pronunciation, including drilling, minimal pairs, chants, role plays, and using technology. Finally, it presents a 5-stage framework for teaching pronunciation: 1) describing the phonetic feature, 2) listening discrimination exercises, 3) controlled practice, 4) guided practice combining form and meaning, and 5) communicative practice integrating pronunciation into speaking.
The document discusses several key aspects of pronunciation beyond individual sounds and words. It notes that there is more to pronunciation than just sounds, and discusses factors like intonation, stress, and rhythm which can impact meaning. The document also examines features of connected speech like elision, assimilation, and liaison that cause sounds to blend together in fast, casual speech. It distinguishes between careful and rapid colloquial speech, noting rapid speech involves more reductions and simplifications.
This document provides an overview and summary of a project that developed three frameworks for teaching pronunciation to adult English language learners. The project involved teachers piloting pronunciation activities with three learner groups: beginners, more advanced learners, and learners in workplace contexts. Through workshops and meetings, the teachers enhanced their expertise in effectively teaching pronunciation. They contributed to refining the frameworks, which are presented in this handbook. The handbook is intended to help other teachers integrate pronunciation teaching into their lessons in a communicative way suitable for different learner levels and contexts.
A brief analysis of reasons why pronunciation and the IPA should be explicitly taught in English lessons. Done with fellow professor Adriana Rivera in 2009.
The document discusses pronunciation and provides exercises and resources for practicing pronunciation of words containing the /th/ sound. It includes links to videos about pronunciation, tongue twisters containing words with /th/, and a PDF resource with additional pronunciation exercises separating words with initial, middle, or final /th/ sounds. Practice and repetition are emphasized as important for improving pronunciation.
The document discusses teaching English pronunciation to second language learners. It addresses why pronunciation is important, including intelligibility, serving communicative needs, increasing confidence, and developing speech awareness. It also provides examples of common pronunciation mistakes made by Greek Cypriot learners and recommends addressing specific sounds, stress, rhythm, intonation, minimal pairs, and providing practice activities and resources. A variety of YouTube videos and websites with pronunciation lessons and exercises are listed.
The document discusses various methods for teaching vowel pronunciation to English language learners. It begins by defining vowels and describing how they are produced without blocking airflow. It then outlines several techniques for teaching pronunciation, including having students feel throat vibrations, focus on mouth shapes, identify patterns in words with similar sounds, play matching games, listen and repeat, use minimal pairs, record themselves, use mirrors, introduce phonetic symbols, show vowel diagrams, sing songs, say tongue twisters, use rhymes, and complete pronunciation exercises. The overall aim is to provide students multiple ways to learn and focus on producing individual vowel sounds correctly.

This document discusses integrating pronunciation teaching by taking a more physical, dance-like approach rather than a solely cognitive one. It argues that pronunciation is neglected despite infusing all language skills. Two problems are identified: pronunciation is seen as mysterious without a framework, and it is either taught cognitively or through repetitive drills that reinforce first language pronunciation. The document proposes using a pronunciation chart as a visual tool and teaching pronunciation physically through muscle movements as a resolution. Integrated teaching would provide pronunciation support throughout learning rather than in isolated drills.
This document discusses the prosody pyramid approach to teaching pronunciation. It defines prosody as the combination of rhythm and melody in speech. Rhythm and melody act as "road signs" that help listeners follow a speaker's meaning by signaling emphasis, relationships between ideas, and distinguishing new from old information. The document explains how English relies heavily on melodic cues compared to other languages. It also discusses how children acquire the rhythm of their first language at a young age, so English learners may apply the rhythm of their L1 when speaking English. The prosody pyramid approach addresses individual pronunciation elements within the framework of larger prosodic systems to make speech more comprehensible to listeners.
This document provides an overview of teaching pronunciation to English language learners. It begins by explaining why working on pronunciation is important, such as helping students improve intelligibility and listening skills. It then discusses various phonetic concepts like consonants, vowels, and specific pronunciation challenges for English learners. Examples are provided to illustrate pronunciation differences between sounds. The document concludes by demonstrating pronunciation exercises teachers can use in the classroom to help students practice distinguishing between similar sounds.
The document provides a long list of techniques for teaching various aspects of pronunciation, including individual sounds, stress, rhythm, intonation, contractions, and cultural communication styles. Some example techniques are backward buildup, bingo, brainstorming, categorizing, chain stories, dialogues, exaggeration, identification, information gap, minimal pairs, pictures, rhyming words, rules, tapping, questionnaires, directions and instructions, identification of questions/statements/lists, dictation, gap fill, and pictorial representations like Sammy diagrams. It also lists questions to discuss cultural differences in speech habits, body language, eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, physical distance, and touching. The overall purpose is to suggest a
This workshop introduces a set of six haptic (movement + touch)-based techniques for presenting and correcting English L2 pronunciation, applicable for intermediate English language learners and above. Guided by research on kinesthetic approaches to L2 pronunciation instruction, the presenters train participants to use the instructional techniques in their classrooms.
This document summarizes a study on pronunciation instruction in ESL classrooms in Canada. The study surveyed 159 instructors across 8 provinces about their training, beliefs, and practices regarding pronunciation teaching. It found that while most teachers believe pronunciation is important, they lack confidence and training in teaching it. They tend to avoid pronunciation lessons and focus more on other skills. The study calls for more research on pronunciation pedagogy to help inform training and best practices to improve instruction.
1) The document discusses two common assumptions against explicitly teaching pronunciation: that children have an advantage in learning pronunciation due to a critical period, and that pronunciation cannot be learned as it is an acquired skill.
2) However, the document cites studies that found adults were initially superior to children in pronunciation learning. It also notes that social and cognitive factors can influence pronunciation learning more than age alone.
3) The document argues that pronunciation should not be denied instruction for adults, as focused practice and teaching of rules can help affect pronunciation development in a second language.
This document shows English vowel sounds from the perspective of mouth opening. The first sounds describe the position of the mouth slightly open, then the rest of the sounds show the position of the mouth more widely open. Pronounce it Perfectly in English by Jean Yeats was used as the main reference to create this document.
This document provides information on English vowel sounds. It discusses that all English vowels are voiced, meaning the throat vibrates when producing them. It describes different aspects of vowel production including lip and tongue position, length as long or short, and being tense versus relaxed. There are 17 total vowel sounds in English presented. Exercises are included asking the reader to produce vowel sounds in words and identify characteristics like which uses more open mouth or causes rounding of the lips. References for further reading on pronunciation instruction are also listed.
This document summarizes techniques for teaching pronunciation to English language learners. It discusses focusing on intelligibility over perfection, common pronunciation problems faced by learners, and reasons for using phonemic symbols. It also outlines different approaches for when to teach pronunciation such as through whole lessons or integrated phases. Examples are provided for working on sounds, stress, intonation, spelling sounds, and connected speech. The document aims to give teachers strategies and activities for helping students improve their pronunciation skills.

This document discusses several topics related to linguistics and language. It begins by discussing the fields of psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and dialectology. Psycholinguistics studies language acquisition and production/comprehension processes. Sociolinguistics examines how social factors influence language use. Dialectology explores geographic language variations. The document then covers linguistic subfields like phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Finally, it provides information on phonology, focusing on phonemes, allophones, phonological rules, and phonotactic patterns that vary between languages.
The document discusses and analyzes Victor Lopez's shortened version of the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. It argues that Lopez's version fails to convey the same mood and effect as the original due to ineffective manipulation of structure, timbre, and melody. Specifically, it completely changes the genre and lacks sensitivity to the original composition's style of building harmonies like an "army." The introduction immediately features all instruments playing and attempts the chorus, contrasting Led Zeppelin's idea of one melody gradually growing.
The document discusses phonology and phonemes in the English language. It defines key terms like phonology, phonemes, and phonetics. It describes the sounds that make up English vowels and consonants. It also discusses theories on how phonemic awareness and phonics contribute to reading development, with some arguing phonemic awareness is key and others seeing it as just one part of developing reading skills.
This document discusses phonetics, phonology, and related linguistic concepts. It begins by defining phonetics as the scientific study of speech sounds and their production and perception, while phonology is the study of phonemes, or meaningful units of sound, in a language.
It goes on to define key terms like phone, phoneme, and allophone. Phones are distinct speech sounds, phonemes are sounds that distinguish meaning, and allophones are variant pronunciations of phonemes that do not change a word's meaning.
The document also covers phonological concepts like place and manner of articulation, phonotactics, and prosody. It includes examples of phonetic transcription and minimal pairs.
Phonology refers to how sounds work together when pronounced in a language. Some key aspects of phonology include:
1) Phonemes are the smallest units of sound, often represented with slashes like /t/, while phones are the actual pronunciation of those sounds in context.
2) Minimal pairs are two words that differ by one phoneme, helping to identify sounds. Minimal sets contain multiple words that vary by one phoneme.
3) Phonotactics is how the mind recognizes permissible sound combinations in a language.
The document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It defines key terms like phone, speech, language, linguistics, phonetics, and phonology. Phonetics is concerned with the concrete sounds of language, while phonology focuses on how sounds function systematically in a language. The document also discusses the physiology of pronunciation, including the organs of speech and their roles in sound production. It introduces concepts like phonemes, allophones, and minimal pairs to distinguish meaningful sounds.
Phonology is the study of sound patterns in language. It examines how sounds combine and change meaning. In 300 BC, Panini was the first to study phonology of Sanskrit. He created a grammar and list of phonemes with symbols still used today. Later, the French linguist Dufriche-Desgenettes first used the term "phoneme" and Baudouin defined it. Phonology tells us a language's sounds, how they combine into words, and which sounds contrast meaning. It also examines sound symbolism, onomatopoeia, assimilation, allusion, alliteration, stress, rhythm, and intonation.
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and perception. It examines the inventory of sounds in a language, their organization into a system, and variations across different types and styles of speech. The document discusses several key topics in phonetics including its branches based on articulatory, acoustic, auditory, and functional aspects. It also covers the units of analysis in phonetics from segmental sounds to suprasegmental units like stress and intonation. The document provides an overview of the fundamentals of the field of phonetics.
Sounds stress and intonation in the English languageMohan Raj Raj
This document provides an introduction to sounds, stress, and intonation in speech. It discusses phonemes as the smallest units of sound in a language. It describes the difference between sounds and phonemes, and explains stress and intonation patterns in words and sentences. The document also introduces the International Phonetic Alphabet and discusses organs of speech and the speech mechanism.
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It discusses:
1. Phonetics is the scientific study of human speech sounds, including their production (articulatory phonetics), transmission (acoustic phonetics), and perception (auditory phonetics).
2. Phonology studies how speech sounds are organized and pattern in a given language. It focuses on a particular language, whereas phonetics studies speech sounds more generally.
3. The document outlines the major consonant and vowel sounds in English, and discusses topics like place and manner of articulation, stress, intonation, assimilation and dissimilation rules.
Music can be vocal or instrumental. Vocal music involves the human voice and is the oldest form. It can be classified as long or short forms. Long forms include opera, cantata, oratorio, and zarzuela which tell stories through music. Instrumental music uses instruments and common forms are the sonata, suite, symphony, and concerto. Both vocal and instrumental music use elements like pitch, duration, volume, and timbre.
Vowel sounds contain multiple pitches that give each vowel its distinctive quality. The lowest three formants distinguish vowels from one another. Formants arise from echoes in the vocal tract as sound waves reflect between the vocal folds and lips. Changes in vocal tract shape alter the formant frequencies, while pitch is determined by vocal fold vibration rate. Computer programs like Praat and WaveSurfer are used to analyze sounds and visualize formants on spectrograms.
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.
4. Speech sounds
This document discusses key concepts in phonology:
1. Phonology describes the sound patterns and systems of a language at an abstract, mental level rather than the actual physical sounds.
2. Phonemes are the smallest units of sound that can distinguish meaning. A change in a phoneme results in a different word.
3. Phones are variations of sounds produced in speech, while allophones are groups of phones that are versions of the same phoneme. Switching phones does not change a word's meaning.
Phonetics & phonology (The way Vowels and Consonant of English are articulated)AishaKoukab
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.
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.

articulated. It consists of 3 broad categories
Stops–where the flow of air is completely
stopped when producing a sound, e.g /p/
Fricatives–where the flow of air involves
friction, e.g. /f/
Affricates--where a sound begins like a stop
but then continues as a fricative, e.g. /tS/
