1) Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and how they are produced, transmitted, and perceived. It has branches that study articulation, acoustics, and auditory perception of sounds. 2) Phonology is the study of sound systems in languages. It analyzes consonants, vowels, and complex vowel combinations (diphthongs and triphthongs). 3) Consonants are sounds made with obstruction of airflow, while vowels are produced with an open vocal tract. Vowels vary in tongue position (front/back, high/low) and lip rounding.

- 9. TWO TYPES • There are two types.1….CONSONENTS.2…VOWELS
- 11. Classification of Speech Sounds Consonants Vowel Speech Sounds A sound which is produced with an obstruction in the air passage. Vowels are the sounds that are produced with a free flow of air.
- 12. CONSONENTS SOUNDS • F…fat,photo • V…view,van • S….soon,sister • Z…zero,buzz • H….hot,whole • P….pen,copy • B….ball,baby • T…ten,tight • D…day • K…key • G…go • M…man • N….no • i….tight • R…right • Y...yet • W…wet
- 13. PART (3) VOWELS
- 14. •Vowels are the sounds that are produced with a free flow of air. •The are all typically voiced sounds •We can describe vowel sounds according to the position and height of tongue. i.e. front and back, close and open. •Lips position (round/spread) Vowels
- 15. LONG N SHORT VOWELS Short vowels • I,kit,bit • e.,,dress,bed • ae.trap,bad • U,,,foot,good • ei,,,face,day • ai,,,,price,high • au,,,mouth,now • ea,,,square,fair • Ua,,poor,cure • I,,,happy, LONG VOWELS i: sea,machine a;start,father U;two,blue
- 16. Classification Vowel Sounds Monothongs Triphthongs Consonants Diphthongs No glide toward the following vowel Sound glides from one vowel to another within one syllable A glide from one vowel to another and then to a third one.
- 17. Monothongs •A vowel which remains constant and does not glide towards the following vowel sound is called monothong or pure vowel. •Monothongs can be described as: •Short vowels /ɪ/, /e/, /æ/, /ɒ/, /ʊ/, /ʌ/, /ə/ •Long Vowels /ɪː/, /ɜː/, /ɑː/, /ɔː/, /uː/
- 18. Diphthongs • In addition to single vowel sounds, we regylarly create sounds that consist of combination of two vowel sounds known as diphthongs. • When we produce diphthongs our tongue moves from one vocalic position to another as in /aı/ • Diphthongs can be described as: •Centring Diphthongs •Closing Diphthongs
- 19. Dipththongs
- 20. Diphthongs Centring Closing Ending in ə eə ɪə Ending in ɪ eɪ aɪ ɔɪʊə əʊ aʊ Ending in ʊ
- 21. 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/
- 22. Triphthongs eɪ + ə = eɪə as in layer, player aɪ + ə = aɪə as in lair, fire ɔɪ + ə = ɔɪə as in loyal, royal, lawyer əʊ + ə = əuə as in lower, mower aʊ + ə = auə as as in powern power, hour.
- 23. Importance of teaching pronunciation • Pronunciation is integral aspect of spoken language. A teacher of language has to give due attention to the teaching of pronunciation because it is not based on spellings. Language is basically a speech. • J.D.O’Conner favors an order that develops from the smallest unit of speech to the combination of these units into words and then to connected speech.
