The pronunciation of north american english
This document summarizes some of the key phonological and phonetic differences between Received Pronunciation (RP) English and North American English (NAmEng). It notes that NAmEng has merged some vowel sounds that are distinct in RP, such as /ɒ/ and /ɑː/. It also discusses features of NAmEng such as rhoticity, consonant changes like vocalization of intervocalic /t/ to [d̯], and regional variations within the United States.

The pronunciation of north american english
The document summarizes some of the key phonological and phonetic differences between Received Pronunciation (RP) English and North American English. It notes that North American English has different vowel pronunciations for words spelled with "a" and "o" compared to RP. It also discusses differences in rhoticity between the two varieties. The document then provides more detail on specific phonetic differences in vowels and consonants between RP and North American English.
Pronunciation Symbols In Dictionaries
The document discusses pronunciation symbols used in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It explains that pronunciations use the International Phonetic Alphabet and shows both British and American pronunciations if they differ. Stress patterns are indicated to show emphasis. Syllable divisions are marked, and there are notes on weak and strong forms of common words.
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.
Pronunciation course
This document provides information about connected speech in English. It explains that in fluent speech, words blend together rather than being pronounced separately. Features of connected speech include linking sounds between words, certain sounds disappearing, sounds joining or changing when two words with the same initial or final consonant sounds are said together. Examples are given like "she sells sea shells" to illustrate linking between words, and how sounds like /t/ and /d/ may disappear in the middle of sentences.
aspects of connected speech
The document discusses different aspects of connected speech including weak forms, elision, and assimilation. It focuses on assimilation, explaining that it refers to the influence one sound has on another, making them more similar or identical. Examples of assimilation of place and voicing are provided, such as /t/ becoming /k/ before /k/, /g/ and /n/ becoming /ŋ/ before velars. Assimilation can occur between or within words and helps in understanding spoken English. It is an important aspect of connected speech.
Spanish Pronunciation
This document discusses pronunciation rules in Spanish, including:
1) The five Spanish vowels - A, E, I, O, U - are always pronounced the same way. Regional accents in English may vary vowel sounds but not in Spanish.
2) There are two ways to categorize Spanish vowels - as strong or weak vowels, and how they relate to other vowels or consonants.
3) Strong vowels like A, E, O each get their own syllable, while a weak vowel combined with a strong one is a diphthong where the strong vowel is stressed.

Regular verbs pronunciation
This document discusses the three different pronunciations of the "-ed" ending on regular past tense verbs in English. It states that "-ed" is pronounced as /t/ when the verb stem ends in a voiceless sound, as /d/ when the verb stem ends in a voiced sound, and as /ɪd/ when the verb stem ends in /t/ or /d/. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule, such as "watched", "loved", and "wanted" respectively.

1. The document discusses weak and strong forms of common function words in English such as articles, pronouns, prepositions, auxiliary verbs.
2. It explains that words like "the", "a", "and" have weak forms that are pronounced differently than their strong forms, especially before consonants and vowels.
3. The document also notes that some words like prepositions can have weak forms internally in a sentence but may use strong forms at the end of a sentence, depending on factors like emphasis.

Three major pronunciation errors native yoruba and French speakers tend to make when speaking English.Differences in diphthongs
This document compares the diphthong vowels of British English and American English. It defines diphthongs as vowel sounds that involve a change in tongue position. The document outlines the main diphthong vowels in British English and American English, and examines the differences between them. Some key differences are that American English is rhotic while British English is non-rhotic, and certain diphthongs have different starting or ending points between the two dialects, such as British /əʊ/ versus American /oʊ/, and British /I/ versus American /aI/. The conclusion reiterates that diphthong vowels differ between British English and American English.
Connectedspeech
The document discusses various aspects of connected speech in English phonology, including:
- Weak forms of words being pronounced more quickly and at lower volume than stressed syllables.
- Assimilation processes where sounds modify each other when they meet, such as /t/ becoming /k/ before velars.
- Elision of sounds in consonant clusters and unstressed syllables.
- Linking and intrusion of sounds between words, such as intrusive /r/ between vowels for some accents.
Copy (2) Of Presentation On Weak Syllables

It provides many examples of words containing weak syllables and discusses how weak forms are important for both producing and comprehending spoken English.
S pronunciation
This document discusses the different pronunciations of the -s ending on plural words in English. It outlines three rules for how the -s is pronounced based on whether the final sound of the singular word is voiceless, voiced, or ends in certain consonant sounds. For voiceless endings like cats, -s is pronounced /s/. For voiced endings like dogs, -s is pronounced /z/. And for endings like watches and judges, -es is pronounced /ɪz/ to accommodate an extra syllable. The document provides numerous examples for each rule regarding how the plural is pronounced.

/l/ and /r/ sound
The document discusses the differences between light and dark /l/ sounds, and /r/ sounds, in English. There are two types of /l/ sounds - light /l/ has the tongue tip behind the top teeth, while dark /l/ has the tongue tip further back. /r/ is similar to dark /l/ but the tongue should not touch the roof of the mouth. Examples are provided to demonstrate the different sounds in words.

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.
Accents and dialects in UK: Ireland
Belfast and Dublin accents differ due to different influences on their development. Belfast speech combines features from northern and southern Ireland and is similar to Scottish accents with post-vocalic /r/ and rising intonation. Dublin speech was not influenced by Scotland and maintains distinctions like /a/ and /ɑ:/ that are not always distinct in other Irish accents. Consonants like /θ/ and /ð/ may be pronounced as stops in Dublin English before /r/ and other consonants.
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.
Sound Structure
The document discusses several key concepts in phonology:
1) Speech sounds can be decomposed into articulatory features that distinguish consonants and vowels across languages.
2) Phonemes are the basic sound units of a language and can be identified through minimal pairs.
3) Syllables group speech sounds and are important units for phonological rules and well-formed words. Languages vary in permissible syllable structures.
Consonant g1a
