VOWEL SOUNDS
OPEN VOWELS
An open vowel is
defined as a vowel sound in which
the tongue is positioned as far as possible from the roof of the mouth. Open
vowels are sometimes also called low vowels in reference to
the low position of the tongue. The open vowels identified in the International
Phonetic Alphabet are:
§ open front
unrounded vowel [a]
§ open front
rounded vowel [ɶ][1]
§ open central
unrounded vowel [ä]
§ open back
unrounded vowel [ɑ]
§ open back
rounded vowel [ɒ]
A close
vowel is a type of vowel sound
used in many spoken languages.
The defining characteristic of a close vowel is that the tongue is positioned
as close as possible to the roof of the mouth without creating a constriction
that would be classified as aconsonant.
This
term is prescribed by the International Phonetic Association.
Close vowels are often referred to as high vowels, as in the Americanist
phonetic tradition, because the tongue is positioned high in the mouth during
the articulation of a close vowel.
The
six close vowels identified within the International Phonetic Alphabet are:
§ close front unrounded vowel [i]
§ close front rounded vowel [y]
§ close central unrounded vowel [ɨ]
§ close central rounded vowel [ʉ]
§ close back unrounded vowel [ɯ]
§ close back rounded vowel [u]
SONG TRANSCRIPTION
SONG TRANSCRIPTION
The transcription of the song
was not difficult because I had to transcribe the consonants, my point of view
about this work is a good because I
tested my knowledge however; I was originally confused in the [ll] I am
sincere transcribe to english is a little boring.
SONG PRESENTATION
The presentation of the song
is a way to develop a good pronunciation, the song that I chose for the
consideration of phonology was WE WILL ROCK YOU by QUUEN a group very famous in
the 80s. My point of view about the song is a good thing, because it helped me
to pronounce better the words.
TONGUE TWISTER
TONGUE TWISTER
A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be
difficult to articulate properly, and can be used as a type of spoken (or sung) word game. Some tongue-twisters produce results which are humorous (or
humorously vulgar) when they are mispronounced, while others simply rely on the
confusion and mistakes of the speaker for their amusement value.
Betty Botter
bought a bit of butter.
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.
REFLEXION
I think that the tongue twisters
is very important because it helps people to improve their speech, tongue
twisters are for children, young people and adults who need a better
pronunciation of the words.
EXTRA INFORMATION
THE TONGUE TWISTER MORE LONG THE
WORLD HAS ABOUT 190 TO 250 WORDS WAS CREATED BY A STUDENT AT THE Sorbonne IN 2006 (STEPHANE DUCHEN RUEN )
CONSONANT SOUNDS
CONSONANT
SOUNDS
In articulatory
phonetics, a consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract. Examples are [p], pronounced with the lips;[t], pronounced with the front of the tongue; [k], pronounced with the back of the tongue; [h], pronounced in the throat; [f] and [s], pronounced by forcing air through a narrow channel (fricatives); and [m] and [n], which have air flowing through the nose (nasals). Contrasting with consonants are vowels.
Since the number of possible sounds in all of the world's languages is much greater than the number of letters in any one alphabet, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique and unambiguous symbol to each attested consonant. In fact, the English alphabet has fewer consonant letters than English has consonant sounds, so digraphs like "ch", "sh", "th", and "zh" are used to extend the alphabet, and some letters and digraphs represent more than one consonant. .
Through learning the
consonant sounds the English language is easier because you
have understanding and knowledge of the consonants in addition, the
learning of consonant sounds is very important because it facilitates
pronunciation however, the language must be well located for that the sounds
have been correct.
