This document provides an introduction to phonetics. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and explains that it involves the complex process of conceptualizing an idea, transmitting it through the nervous system to speech organs, and producing sound waves to communicate. It describes the key organs involved in speech production and defines a phoneme as the smallest unit of phonetics. The document outlines that there are 44 phonemes in English, including 20 vowel phonemes divided into pure vowels and diphthongs. It provides a phonemic chart and discusses vowels in more detail, explaining the categories of pure vowels and diphthongs and providing examples.

Unit.1.1.introduction to phonetics.2
This document provides an introduction to phonetics and consonants. It discusses that there are 24 consonant sounds in English which cannot be pronounced continually and involve closure of speech organs. It presents the phonemic symbols used to represent consonants and examples of consonant transcription. It also defines a syllable as the unit above a phoneme, noting that a syllable contains at least one vowel sound and words can be made up of single or multiple syllables.
Unit 1
This document introduces a course on phonology and phonetics. It discusses language as a complex system of vocal symbols and sound units that combine according to rules to form structures with meaning. Language began as early humans' first words and the assigning of names to things. There are many languages because groups developed differently over time and isolated from each other. The document asks why languages have different accents and what the differences are between accents and dialects. It recommends learning English pronunciation to avoid issues like native language interference that can cause foreign accents.
Vietnamese phonologicaldisorders kimberly jones
There is little research on typical speech development in Vietnamese children and those learning English as a second language. Three key characteristics were found in monolingual Vietnamese children with reported speech impairments: substitution of less complex sounds, substitution of more complex sounds, and velar backing. However, some backing is seen typically in Cantonese development. Distinguishing disorder from difference requires considering patterns atypical to both languages and the primary language intelligibility rating. Cultural factors are also important when assessing Vietnamese families.
Phonetics
This document provides an overview of phonetics and improving pronunciation in English. It discusses the importance of pronunciation, defines phonetics, and describes the phonetic symbols for consonants and vowels in English. Examples are given of different types of consonant and vowel sounds. Reasons for using phonetic symbols are explained. Tips are given for improving pronunciation, such as breaking words into syllables, stressing words correctly, practicing accents, and recording oneself. The document aims to help readers learn about English pronunciation.
English phonetics
This document provides an overview of English phonetics. It begins by explaining the need to learn phonetics as English pronunciation can differ from its spelling. It then defines phonetics as the study of sounds in language and notes it is a branch of linguistics. The document outlines that languages have consonants and vowels, defined as sounds produced with partial or full obstruction of air flow. It provides definitions of consonants and vowels from various linguistic sources and notes consonants are categorized by their place and manner of articulation, while vowels are categorized by tongue position and lip shape. In closing, it wishes the reader luck on their exam and provides a website for additional information.
The English Phonetic Alphabet_JudyThompson_Appi2013
Judy Thompson gave a presentation on the problems with teaching English pronunciation and proposed a new framework using color-coded vowels. She explained that English spelling does not represent sounds accurately and students need tools to learn pronunciation. Her framework uses colors to represent the 40 sounds in English - 24 consonants and 16 vowels. Students learn that every word has a color based on its stressed syllable. This approach teaches pronunciation without relying on spelling and gives students tools to improve their speaking ability independently.

The document discusses key differences between the Vietnamese and English languages and provides a case study of a Vietnamese student named Sam Johnson. Some key differences highlighted include: Vietnamese is a tonal language with six tones represented by diacritics, while English is not tonal; Vietnamese does not use suffixes but English does; and Vietnamese has one form of verbs while English has multiple forms. The case study notes Sam struggles with English verb tenses and endings, vocabulary, and nouns. It provides recommendations for Sam such as focusing on verb endings and minimal pair activities.
Chapter 2 learning about language structure
The document discusses several key aspects of language structure and learning a second language, including:
1. Language is complex, dynamic, and arbitrary but humans have an innate ability to learn language regardless of background.
2. Phonology and pronunciation can be difficult for second language learners, as some sounds do not exist in their native language.
3. Morphology examines the smallest meaningful units of language, including free and bound morphemes that can derive new words.
4. Syntax, semantics, vocabulary, and nonverbal communication like gestures can also present challenges for English language learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

English is Stupid, Students are Not
This keynote for the TESL Niagara Conference 2014 was teacher training lesson on a quick and dirty method for teaching anyone to speak English with the Thompson Vowel Chart from the back of a business card and an elastic band. First, participants had to throw out (or at least relegate to a back burner) everything they thought they knew about English and how to teach it. We started from scratch using only features of English that are always true and the information students already know - their name, the alphabet and colors. The 1 hour presentation trotted out a system for teaching speaking to students of all levels and provides students with the tools they need to figure out pronunciation without a teacher present.
A good time was had by all!
Pronunciation at a Glance
An hour-long PowerPoint presentation from the TESL Conference in Calgary, Alberta November 1, 2013. Includes the Thompson Vowel Color Chart that maps the correct pronunciation of every word in English onto a single sheet of paper.
English Diphthong
This document discusses diphthongs in English phonology. It defines a diphthong as a single sound produced from two vowels in sequence, with one vowel being dominant. Diphthongs are represented by two letters, with the first showing the starting point and second the direction of movement from one vowel position to another. There are two types of diphthongs: closing diphthongs where the position moves to close vowels, and centering diphthongs where the position moves to center vowels. The first vowel is longer in duration and receives more stress.

The goal is for students to demonstrate mastery of the English sound system and improve comprehensibility.
East Asian Anglishes
English language education is increasing dramatically across East Asia. In China, 300 million students study English, while Japan has launched an English promotion project. Korea and Taiwan also focus on strengthening English in primary schools. English was first introduced to China in the 1600s and became important for education and tests, though Russian also had influence. China developed its own English variations for Asian experiences. Japan began teaching English in 1600 and established English education in its 1872 system. Korea and Taiwan also continue advancing English education, which grows in importance for trade and culture across East Asia.
Introduction to Language and Linguistics 003: Introduction to Phonology
Introduction to Language and Linguistics 003: Introduction to Phonology - In which we introduce Hockett's design feature "discreteness," as well as the concept of CONTRAST, distinguishing between contrastive and non-contrastive sound relationships. Three types of non-contrastive sound relationships are discussed (Lack of Variation, Free Variation and Allophonic Varation). The concepts of of "minimal pair" and "complementary distribution" are introduced as ways to diagnose different categories of sounds.
Week #1
This document summarizes an English student's portfolio for the semester. It includes activities done in 3 hours of English class, 1 hour of conversation group, and 1 hour in the English lab each week.

Aspects of phonetics and phonology in pronunciation
This document discusses various aspects of teaching pronunciation to English language learners. It covers phonology, the phonemic chart, vowel and consonant sounds in American and British English, and how consonants are produced. It also addresses connected speech phenomena like assimilation, elision, linking, rhythm, word stress, sentence stress, intonation, and rhythm. The goal is to help students recognize and produce sounds accurately for comprehensible pronunciation.
1- Problems in Pronunciation.pptx
The document discusses challenges with pronunciation for foreign language learners and offers advice. It notes that as people grow older, the "boxes" in our brain for native language sounds get stronger, making it difficult to form new boxes for foreign sounds. When hearing an unfamiliar sound, the brain puts it in the closest existing box. The document recommends listening carefully to the sounds of the target language when practicing, and choosing a clear model of English to learn based on where one lives and communicates. It outlines the basic sounds of English, differences between sounds and phonemes, and challenges with connecting words smoothly in longer utterances.

The sounds of english
This document discusses pronunciation in the English language. It begins by explaining that pronunciation differs across regions but is defined as how words are usually spoken to be easily understood. It then covers vowels, diphthongs, consonants, and consonant clusters as the main components of pronunciation. The document classifies the 44 speech sounds in English into 20 vowel sounds (including 12 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs) and 24 consonant sounds. It describes how vowels are produced without obstruction of air flow while consonants involve partially blocking air flow. The document also discusses consonant clusters and how native speakers may not fully pronounce sequences of three or more consonants.
Phonetics Phonology
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.

linguistics.ppt
This document discusses the levels of linguistic analysis, including phonology, phonetics, morphology, and word structure. It provides definitions and examples for each level. Specifically, it notes that phonology analyzes patterns of phonemes, the smallest units of sound, and how they combine to form words according to rules of the language. It gives examples of phonemes and allophones in English. Additionally, it defines morphology as the study of word structure, including free and bound morphemes like prefixes, suffixes, and roots.
LNG506 WEEK 2.pptx
Phonetics is the scientific study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and reception. It involves articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics and auditory phonetics. Phonology is the study of how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another in a language. It deals with the phonemes, or smallest units of sound, that make up a language's sound system and patterns. The key difference is that phonetics examines the physical aspects of sounds, while phonology studies the abstract, systematic organization and patterning of sounds in a language.
Phonetics and phonology junaid shahid
It deals with Phonetics and Phonology and its role in English language learning. The presentation was conducted in Lincoln Corner Faisalabad (administered by US consulate), in order to familiarize the students from diverse disciplines with the usage of Phonetics and Phonology in their communication.
Introduction.pptx
The document provides information about the articulators involved in speech production. It discusses the main areas of articulation including the lips, teeth, tongue, soft palate, hard palate, pharynx, larynx and vocal cords. Diagrams and descriptions are given of each articulator and their role. The tongue is identified as the most important articulator due to its variety of movement. Other articulators like the lips, jaw, soft palate and vocal cords are also described in terms of their involvement in speech.

Week 3 phonology copy
This document discusses phonology and phonetics. It defines phonology as the study of sound patterns in languages, including phonemes and prosody. Phonetics is defined as the scientific study of speech sounds, including their articulation, acoustic properties, and perception. The difference between phonetics and phonology is explained, with phonology dealing with sound systems and phonetics dealing with physical realization of sounds. Key concepts like phonemes and phones are introduced. English spelling irregularities and their historical causes are also summarized. The importance of studying phonetics and phonology for learners of English as a second language is highlighted.
presentation of phone phoneme and allophones copy.ppt
This document defines and distinguishes between phones, phonemes, and allophones. Phones are the smallest units of sound in speech. Phonemes are the minimal distinctive units of sound that distinguish meaning. They are abstract categories that contain various phones. Allophones are variants of phonemes that do not change a word's meaning and occur in complementary distribution based on phonetic environment. The document provides examples of phones, phonemes, and allophones in English to illustrate the differences between these phonetic and phonological units.
Miracles of human language-By Saad Elhalafawy
The objectives of this course are to understand what makes language uniquely human and the similarities and differences between languages. Some key questions include how humans produce and distinguish sounds, how words and sentences are formed, and the relationship between language and the brain. The document discusses differences between human and animal communication systems, including that human languages have discrete infinity, displacement, and joint attention. Sign languages are considered full human languages. While most humans have language abilities, in rare cases individuals have been deprived of language due to various impairments. The evolutionary origins of language abilities in humans are debated. There are approximately 6,000-7,000 languages currently, though many are endangered or undocumented.

This document discusses measuring the pronunciation of the English stops /p/ and /b/ by Saudi English language learners. It notes that learners may pronounce sounds from their second language like the closest sounds in their first language if a sound is not present. For Saudi learners of English, the voiceless bilabial stop /p/ does not exist in Saudi Arabic, so learners have two ways to pronounce it - without regard for voicing distinction, or like the closest Arabic sound /b/. The document proposes measuring the voice onset time (VOT) of learners' productions of /p/ and /b/ to analyze how closely they match English sounds. VOT is defined as the time between a
Phonology in English- Introduction
This document provides an overview of phonology and phonetics. It defines key concepts like phone, phoneme, and allophone. Phones are actual speech sounds, phonemes are the abstract linguistic units of sound, and allophones are context-dependent variations of the same phoneme. The document outlines principles of classifying speech sounds, including contrastive distribution (sounds that distinguish meaning), complementary distribution (context-dependent variations that are allophones), and minimal pairs (pairs of words that differ by one phoneme). It also distinguishes between phonology, which studies a language's sound system, and phonetics, which analyzes speech sound production and acoustics.
Phoenetic_Symbol.pptx
Phonetic symbols represent sounds and are used to standardize the spelling of words from various languages. They were developed in the late 19th century by linguists including Otto Jepersen, Paul Passy, Alexander John Elis, Henry Sweet, and Daniel Jones. Phonetic symbols are divided into vowels, including monopthongs and dipthongs, and consonants, which are distinguished as voiced or voiceless. Understanding phonetic symbols helps improve English pronunciation and allows non-native speakers to understand differences in words with similar spellings but different meanings.
PPT PHONETICS(Place of Articulation).pptx
Phonetics is the study of the sounds of language, including how sounds are produced and perceived. It describes all the sounds of the world's languages using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The place of articulation refers to where in the vocal tract airflow is restricted when producing consonant sounds, such as at the lips, teeth, alveolar ridge, palate, velum, uvula, or glottis.
Phonology
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. It involves identifying the phonemes, or smallest units of sound, that make up words, and describing how combinations of phonemes are used to create meaning. Phonology also examines phonological processes like allophones, which are variations in pronunciation of the same phoneme, and rules that govern how phonemes are combined into syllables and words with correct stress patterns. The international phonetic alphabet is used to represent sounds in a standardized way across languages.
Ppp9
This document discusses English phonetics and phonology. It covers the key concepts of phonetics, phonology, vowels, consonants, models and techniques for teaching pronunciation, and differences between English and Spanish phonological systems. Phonetics studies how sounds are physically produced, while phonology studies how sounds combine to form meaning. English has more complex patterns of stress, rhythm and intonation than Spanish. Techniques for teaching pronunciation include repetition, songs, stress and rhythm activities, and role plays focusing on suprasegmentals. Errors must be corrected indirectly to avoid damaging fluency.

Unit.1.1.introduction to phonetics.1
- 1. Introduction to Phonetics Gokhale Education Society’s S.M.R.K. B.K. A.K Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Nasik-5. CC English (LL) F.Y.B.Com. Sem I Unit 1 Ms.Geetanjali Gitay Assistant Professor Dept. of English
- 2. Introduction • The word “phone” means sounds. e.g. telephone – “tele” means distant and “phone” means “ sound”, so” telephone” means an instrument that helps us to listen to distant sounds. • In English , there are 26 alphabets from A to Z. However, the pronunciation of these alphabets is not uniform for all words. e.g. “c” – cook, cycle, check. “s” – sell , sugar. • So we can observe that a single alphabet is pronounced differently. • The study and classifications of these speech sounds is called “ Phonetics”. •Phonetics is part of linguistics, which is the scientific study of language. • Phonetics helps us learn pronunciation, accent and intonation of sounds in English.
- 3. Speech Event • Pronunciation of each sound requires a complex procedure to take place. •First, a concept or idea is formulated in the speaker’ brain and then its linguistic codification is transmitted by the nerves to speech organs, which are set in motion. • The movement of these organs set up disturbance in the air, and these sound waves are received by the listener’s ears. • His nervous system carries the message to brain, where it is interpreted in linguistic terms. • The speaker and the listener must share the same linguistic code in order to communicate effectively. It means they both should know the language they are communicating in. • The energy for the production of speech is generally provided by the air- stream coming out of the lungs. • The sounds are passed through air. So air acts as a medium to carry sounds. • Thus pronouncing a sound involves a complex physical process.
- 5. Phoneme • Phoneme is the smallest unit of phonetics. • Each individual sound is represented by a ‘phoneme’. • There are 26 alphabets in English but 44 phonemes. • These 44 phonemes are further divided into two categories : 1. Vowels and 2. Consonants • There are 20 vowel sounds which are divided into Pure Vowels (12) and Diphthongs (08). • There are 24 consonant sounds in English. • Each of the phonemes is represented by a different symbol. • We are going to study RP system that is British Received Pronunciation.
- 7. Vowels • Vowel are necessary to form words. A word cannot be formed without vowels. • Vowel sound can be pronounced continually as there is no closure of speech organs while pronouncing it. • There are only 5 letters to represent vowel sounds (a, i, e, o, u) in English but 20 phonemes to represent their pronunciation. • They are further divided into Pure Vowels(12) and Diphthongs (08). • Pure vowels are single vowel sounds and are classified into Short Vowels and Long Vowels. •Diphthongs are sounds created by combining two vowel sounds.
- 8. Vowels: Pure Vowels (12) Diphthongs (08) Pure Vowels (Short and Long) Diphthongs
- 10. Conclusion In this presentation, we discussed : 1. What is Phonetics? 2. What are Phonemes? 3. Speech Event 4. Organs of Speech 5. Phonemes 6. Vowels (20): Pure Vowels(12) and Diphthongs (08) 7. Vowels in Transcription
