  1. Phonetic alphabets Chapter 2

  2. Spelling vs Pronunciation Important to know that language was around long before writing • Writing was invented to reflect what language does • The English spelling for many words does so necessarily represent the sounds that word • K represents [k] for kit • K does not represent [k] in knit

  3. Different letters=same sound • /i/ Miley Field Tree • /u/ Moose flute Suit

  4. One letter=different sounds • G Gaga Giant Garage • S Soccer His Cohesion

  5. Phonetic Alphabet Concept • Unlike in English the phonetic alphabet has a single symbol to represent a single sound. Some sounds are similar which is why it is important to analyze and inspect your pronunciation to correctly match the sound with the appropriate symbol. • Can be especially useful in learning a language • Useful to learn dialect Ex: [Foto] for photo Ex: [SkwId] for squid

  6. Transcription • Simply, transcribing is the act of transforming or representing a word with the phonetic symbols that represent the sounds in the word. bee= [bi] boat=? Name=??? boo=[bu] bat=? bait=[bet] bought=? boy=[boi] cream=? city=[sIti]

  7. Transcription Continued • Some letters are not represented with a symbol. • For instance C is represented by the sounds [s] or [k]. C does not need a symbol representing it because the sound is already represented. • Transcription can be performed backwards from phonetic or orthographic • [gUd]=? • [tren]=?

  8. Broad vs narrow transcription • Your text book discusses Broad transcription as a basic or broad way of capturing sounds with symbols • P is [ph] followed by /e/ • Test for nasalization by holding your nose as you speak • Practice on page 12
