Phonetics: The Sounds of Language Jan-March,2013
The Phonetic Alphabet (Fromkin et al., p. 232)
Orthography = alphabetic spellingPhonetics = way for the same sound to be
spelled with the same letter every time, and for any letter to stand for the same sound every time.
How do your spell
George Bernard Shaw complained that spelling was so inconsistent that fish could be spelled ghoti—gh as in tough, o as in women, and ti as in nation.
?
Silent letters & hidden sounds
IPA
Table Below:ou represents six distinct vowel sounds; the gh is silent in all but rough, where it is pronounced [f]; the th represents a single sound, either [Ð] or [ð], and the l in would is also silent.
Sofa represents vowels in syllables that are not
emphasized in speaking and whose duration is very shortgeneral, aboutreader
reserved for the vowel sound in all reduced syllables
[ə] = schwa

the constriction occurs by raising the front part of the tongue to the palate.mission [mɪʃən]Measure [mɛʒər] cheap [tʃip]judge [dʒʌdʒ]yoyo [jojo]
Palatal: ʃ ʒ t ʃ dʒ
sounds produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate or velum
The initial and final sounds of:kick [kɪk] gig [gɪg
final sounds of:back [bӕk]bag [bӕg]bang [bӕŋ]
Velar: k g ŋ
produced by raising the back of the tongue to the uvula, the fleshy protuberance that hangs down in the back of our throats.
The r in French is often a uvular trill symbolized by [ʀ].
The uvular sounds [q] and [ɢ] occur in Arabic. These sounds do not ordinarily occur in English.
Uvulars [ʀ] [q] [ɢ]
[h] flow of air through the open glottis, and past
the tongue and lips a vowel sound always follows [h]
[ʔ]air is stopped completely at the glottis by
tightly closed vocal cordsglottal stop: interjection “uh-oh” [ʔʌʔo]
Glottal: h ʔ
