Biliteracy
The ability to effectively
communicate or understand
written thoughts and ideas
through the grammatical systems,
vocabularies, and written symbols
of two different languages.
PHONETICS
¿What is Phonetics?
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds
• We are able to segment a continuous stream of
speech into distinct parts and recognize the parts in
other words.
• Everyone who knows a language knows how to
segment sentences into words and words into
sounds.
• Acoustic phonetics: focuses
on the physical properties of
the sounds of language.
• Auditory phonetics: focuses
on how listeners perceive
the sounds of language.
• Articulatory phonetics:
focuses on how the vocal
tract produces the sounds of
language
PHONICS

PHONEMIC AWARENESS

PHONOLOGICAL
AWARENESS
PHONICS
A method of teaching people to read
by correlating sounds with symbols in
an alphabetic writing system, Knowing the
relation between specific, spoken sounds
(identify and produce) and specific, printed
letters (including combinations of letters).
 PHONEMIC AWARENESS
Understanding about the smallest units of sound that
make up the speech stream (words or sentences):
Phonemes
(One written letter may have different sounds).

PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
Understanding that sounds convey meaning.
Encompasses larger units of sound such as
syllables, onsets, and rimes.

Spelling, or orthography does not
consistently represent the sounds of
language.
Some special cases with ordinary
spelling:
- 1. The same sound may be
represented by many letters or
combination of letters:
he people key believe seize
machine Caesar seas see
amoeba
- 2. The same letter may represent a
variety of sounds:
father village bad made many
- 3. A combination of letters may represent
a single sound:
shoot character Thomas either physics
rough deal
- 4. A single letter may represent a combination
of sounds:
mine no
- 5. Some letters in a word may not be
pronounced at all:
autumn sword resign pterodactyl lamb
psychology write knot receipt
- 6. There may be no letter to represent a sound
that occurs in a word:
cute use
The International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA)
• It was invented in order to have a
system in which there was a one-
to-one correspondence between
each sound in language and each
phonetic symbol.
• Someone who knows the IPA
knows how to pronounce any word
in any language

ARTICULATION
Place of
Articulation
• Bilabials:[p], [b], [m] Produced by bringing both lips
together.
• Labiodentals:[f], [v] Produced by touching the bottom
lip to the upper teeth
• Interdentals: [θ], [ð] Produced by putting the of the
tongue between the teeth
• Palatals: [ʃ] [ʒ] [ʧ] [ʤ][ʝ] Produced by raising the front
part of the tongue to the palate
• Velars: [k] [g] [ŋ] Produced by raising the back of the
tongue to the soft palate or velum
• Uvulars: [ʀ] [q] [ɢ] Produced by raising the back of the
tongue to the uvula
• Glottals: [h] [Ɂ] Produced by restricting the airflow
through the open glottis ([h]) or by stopping the air
completely at the glottis (a glottal stop: [Ɂ])
• Alveolars: [t] [d] [n] [s] [z] [l] [r] All of these are
produced by raising the tongue to the alveolar ridge
in some way
[t, d, n]: produced by the tip of the tongue touching
the alveolar ridge (or just in front of it)
[s, z]: produced with the sides of the front of the
tongue raised but the tip lowered to allow air to
escape
[l]: the tongue tip is raised while the rest of the tongue
remains down so air can escape over the sides of the
tongue (thus [l] is a lateral sound)
[r]: air escapes through the central part of the mouth;
either the tip of the tongue is curled back behind the
alveolar ridge or the top of the tongue is bunched up
behind the alveolar ridge
 Manner of
Articulation
The way the airstream is affected as it flows from
the lungs and out of the mouth and nose.
• Voiceless sounds are those produced with the
vocal cords apart so the air flows freely through
the glottis.
• Voiced sounds are those produced when the
vocal cords are together and vibrate as air
passes through.
The voiced/voiceless distinction is important in
English because it help us distinguish words like:
rope/robe fine/vine seal/zeal
[rop]/[rob] [faɪn]/[vaɪn] [sil]/[zil]
Think brother
[θɪŋk] [brʌðər]
• Round vowels:
[u] [ʊ] [o] [ɔ]
Produced by rounding the lips
English has only back round vowels
• Short vowels /I/ /ʊ/
• Long vowels /i/ /u/
• Open vowels /e/ /æ/
• Closed vowels /ᴧ/ /ɝ/
• Diphthongs:
[aɪ] [aʊ] [ɔɪ]

STRESS
The relative emphasis that may
be given to certain syllables in a
word, or to certain words in a
phrase or sentence.
In English, stressed syllables are Photo
louder than non-stressed
syllables. Also, they are longer
and have a higher pitch.
 Verb Noun

to export an export
to transport a transport
