    Phonology Vowel

    Uploaded by

    Anam Musholli
    Vowels are speech sounds made without obstruction of airflow. There are two types of vowels: short vowels which are pronounced briefly, and long vowels which are sustained. Long vowels can be created by two vowels together, a double letter, or a vowel followed by a consonant and silent e. Diphthongs are vowels where the mouth moves between two positions, like "oy" or "ow". Triphthongs add a third vowel movement, as in "layer" or "hour".

    VOWEL

    1. Vowel Meaning
    a speech sound in which the mouth is open and the tongue is not touching the top of the
    mouth, the teeth, etc., so that the flow of air is not limited, for example /ɑː, e, ɔː/. ( Oxford )
    a speech sound produced by humans when the breath flows out through the mouth without
    being blocked by the teeth, tongue, or lips. ( Cambridge )
    A vowel sound is created when air flows smoothly, without interruption, through the throat
    and mouth. Different vowel sounds are produced as a speaker changes the shape and
    placement of articulators (parts of the throat and mouth). ( thoughtco)
    2. Short Vowels
    If a word contains only one vowel, and that vowel appears in the middle of the word, the
    vowel is usually pronounced as a short vowel.
    Example:
    Bat, Led, Red, Hit, Fix, Cup, But
    If there are two vowels in a word and the vowels are separated by two or more letters, the
    first vowels is usually short.
    Example:
    Lantern, Basket, Ticket, Bucket
    3. Long VowelsThe long vowel sound is the same as the name of the vowel itself.
    Follow these rules:
    Long A sound is AY as in cake.
    Long E sound is EE an in sheet.
    Long I sound is AHY as in like.
    Long O sound is OH as in bone.
    Long U sound is YOO as in human or OO as in crude.
     Long vowel sounds are often created when two vowels appear side by side in a
    syllable. When vowels work as a team to make a long vowel sound, the second vowel
    is silent.
    Example:
    Rain, Seize, Boat, Toad, Heap
     A double “e” also makes the long vowel sound:
    Keep, Feel, Meek
     The vowel “i” often makes a long sound in a one-syllable word if the vowel is
    followed by two consonants:
    Exmple:
    Blight, High, Mind, Wild, Pint
     This rule does not apply when the “i” is followed by the consonants th, ch, or sh, as
    in:
    Fish, Wish, Rich, With
     A long vowel sound is created when a vowel is followed by a consonant and a silent
    “e” in a syllable, as in:
    Stripe, Stake, Concede, Bite, Size, Rode, Cute
     The long “u” sound can sound like yoo or oo, such as:
    Cute, Flute, Lute Prune, Fume, Perfume
     Most often, the letter “o” will be pronounced as a long vowel sound when it appears
    in a one-syllable word and is followed by two consonants, as in these examples:
    Most, Post, Roll, Fold, Sold
     A few exceptions occur when the “o” appears in a single syllable word that ends in th
    or sh:
    Example: Posh, Gosh, Moth.

    DIPTHONGS
     The word "diphthong" comes from the Greek and means "two voices" or "two
    sounds." In phonetics, a diphthong is a vowel in which there is a noticeable sound
    change within the same syllable. (A single or simple vowel is known as a
    monophthong.) The process of moving from one vowel sound to another is called
    gliding, which is why another name for a diphthong is a gliding vowel but they are
    also known as compound vowels, complex vowels, or moving vowels. The sound
    change that turns a single vowel into a diphthong is called diphthongization.

     Diphthongs are sometimes referred to as "long vowels" but this is misleading. While
    vowel sounds do change in a diphthong, they do not necessarily take more time to say
    than a monophthong.

    necessarily take more time to say than a monophthong.

     Examples of Diphthongs.
    /eɪ/ as in day, pay, say, lay
    /aɪ/ as in sky, buy, cry, tie
    /ɔɪ/ as in boy, toy, coy or the first syllable of soya
    /ɪə/ as in beer, pier, hear
    /eə/ as in bear, pair, and hair
    /ʊə/ as in tour, poor or the first syllable of tourist

    TRIPHTHONGS
     A triphthong is a glide from one vowel to another and the to a third, all produced
    rapidly and without interruption. For example, a careful pronunciation of the word
    ‘hour’ begins with a vowel quality similar to ‘ɑ:’, goes on to ‘ʊ’ then ends in ‘ə’.
     • It says /aʊə/
    • Triphthong : 5 closing diphthongs with ‘ə’ added on the end.
    – eɪ + ə = eɪə. as in layer, player
    – aɪ + ə = aɪə. as in lire, fire
    – ɔɪ + ə = ɔɪə, as in loyal, royal
    – əʊ + ə = əuə, as in lower, mower
    – aʊ + ə = auə, as in power, hour.
    Occurrence
     A combination of three vowel sounds in a single syllable forming a simple or
    compound sound :also ,a union of three vowel characters representing together a
    single sound:a trigragh:as eye.-ieu in adieu.eau in beau,are examples of triphthongs.
