English Phonetics & Phonology

The document discusses English phonetics and phonology. It covers the differences between phonetics, which describes sounds in any language, and phonology, which describes sound patterns specific to a single language. It also discusses places and manners of articulation for different speech sounds, as well as techniques for helping learners learn unfamiliar sounds through awareness, modeling, and explicit explanations. The document notes that spelling does not directly correspond to sounds in English. It provides examples of consonant and vowel production and differences.

2.

Place of articulation

-Teeth

-Tongue

-Lips

-Clef lip (ankyloglossia)

Manner of articulation

-Affricate

-Slow released

-Fricative

-Narrow opening/friction/turbulence

-Approximants

-minimal friction

-Plosive/pressure

-Explosion/pressure

-Lateral

-Side

-Nasal

-Nose,
Voiced-voiceless

-foris

-lenis

-aspiration (p,t,k)

3.

Helping learners learn sounds they are not familiar with

1.Raise awareness (Listening)

2.Modelling (mirrors, immitation)

3.Explicit explanations, including compare and contrast with mother tongue

4.

Sounds and spelling

-Not connected

-Rules and pattern and not simple

-Consonant clusters

A blockage in the airstream is created when the two lips are touching (bilabial).

This creates a buildup of air pressure behind the lips. When the air is released suddenly

(plosive), the sound is produced. The vocal cords are quite close together and the glottis

is quite narrow, which causes a stronger vibration of the airstream (voiced).

5. Vowel vs Consonants

Things that separate

- Lip shape
- Position of the tongue in oral cavity
- State of the tongue?

Modeling can’t be used in vowel teaching

- There are three mouth shape


o Rounded
o Neutral
o Spread
- Tongue height
o Close
o Mid
o Open
- Tongue place
o Front
o Center
o Back
- Cardinal vowels vs rp vowels
- Clusters/dipthongs/
o Dipthong must glide
