Vowels Speech sounds can be classified and described in articulatory‚ acoustic and auditory terms. On the basis of these terms the two broad categories in which the speech sounds in any language can be classified are vowels and consonants. Consonants are best described in articulatory terms because there is some type of closure or narrowing of the air passage to the extent that there is audible friction during the production of that sound. But in case of the production of vowels as there is no closure

| | | | This vowel is known as the long a sound and it has the same sound as the alphabet letter A. Try to practice simple words such as: late‚ eight‚ and hate. Remember that you have to open your mouth wide for this sound.The long a sound is written as eɪ in IPA. Therefore‚ you can think about pronouncing the long a sound as the short e sound plus the short i sound. Many non native English speakers pronounce the long a sound as the short e sound because they drop the short i sound. |

the difference between a monophthong and a diphthong? Give some examples. The main difference is that a monophthong is a phoneme that consists of only one ("mono" means one) vowel sound and a diphthong is a phoneme consisting of two ("di" means two) vowel sounds that are "connected" or "linked" to each other. The diphthong starts out with one vowel sound and "glides" into the other vowel sound. These "vocalic glides" are always within one syllable. The monophthongs have a quite stable tongue

English unstressed reduced vowels‚ such as schwa ’[ə]’ and barred-i ’[ɨ]’‚ have phonetic features that are distinct from other vowels.

Schwa ’[ə]’ occurs in a word-final position like Rosa as a mid central reduced vowel and barred-i ’[ɨ]’ occurs in a non-final position like roses as a high central reduced vowel (Flemming & Johnson 2007).
