DIPHTHONGS Origin: Late Middle English: from French diphtongue, via late Latin from Greek diphthongos, from di- 'twice' + phthongos 'voice, sound'. A diphthong is a special kind of vowel sound. Most vowel sounds in English are made with the mouth in one position and with one pure sound. These vowel sounds are called monophthongs (mono meaning “one” and phthong meaning “sound”). A diphthong is one vowel sound formed by the combination of two vowel sounds. A diphthong begins as one vowel sound and moves toward another, such as the vowel sounds in coin or loud. Diphthongs can be contrasted with two
but he had presented his theory already on 1 May, 1875 in a comprehensive personal letter to his friend and mentor, Vilhelm Thomsen. It was received with great enthusiasm by the young generation of comparative philologists, the so- called Junggrammatiker, because it was an important argument in favour of theNeogrammarian dogma that the sound laws were without exceptions ("die Ausnahmslosigkeit der Lautgesetze"). BREAKING IN OLD ENGLISH Vowel breaking is a sound change whereby a single vowel changes to become a diphthong in specific environments. The resulting sound preserves the original vowel, which is either preceded or followed by a glide. This process is manifested in a variety of Germanic languages and is characteristic of Old English. Certain front vowels, /æ/ /e/ and /i/, in their short and long variants, were diphthongized when immediately followed by a velar /x/ or a cluster containing a velarized consonant and /l/ or /r/, as its first element.

consonants vowels Consonants are produced with some restriction or closure in the vocal tract that impedes the flow of air from the lungs. Vowels are produced so that the airstream is relatively unobstructed. NB! Any speech sound will always exhibit two components in some form or other: An activity that initiates a flow of air (i.e. initiation, lungs as initiators) An activity that modulates or articulates the air-stream, thus generating a specific type of sound Vowel and Consonant The difference between vowel and consonant is: in the way they are produced (phonetics) in their distribution, i.e. the different contexts and positions in which particular sounds can occur (phonology) NB! Vowels can stand alone they can be produced without consonants before or after them. Consonants require at least a "little bit" of vowel sound. Vowels are classified according to their phonetical quality: how high is the tongue
Phonology. Mid-term 2. Syllable - is a phonological unit consisting of one or more phonemes. In phonetics a syllable is a unit which consists of a centre, that has little or no obstruction to airflow; it is comparatively louder than other sounds. In phonology syllables are the possible combinations of phonemes. The syllable consists of - onset, nucleus, coda. (every syllable has a nucleus: vowel, syllabic l, or m, n). Rhyme/rime nucleus + coda; the nucleus and the coda constitute a sub-syllabic unit rhyme. Words rhyme, when their nucleus and coda are identical. (E.g 'cr-o-wn', 'd-o-wn'). The hierarchical structure of the syllable: Onset the beginning of the syllable Nucleus/peak the open part of a syllable, generally a vowel. Coda a consonant sound which ends the syllable. Open syllable - has no coda Closed syllable - has a coda!
vowels around them To classify vowels, fixate: The height of the tongue – close, close-mid, open-mid, open What part of the tongue is involved – front, middle, back – and is it up, down or neutral in the mouth The position of the lips – neutral, rounded, spread Classification of vowels: Close vowels – tongue is near the hard palate - i, e, ᴂ Open vowel – tongue is low and there’s room between the tongue and hard palate - ɑ, ᴂ Back vowel – back of the tongue is in highest point - ᴜ, ᴧ Front vowel – front of the tongue is raised – i, e Vowels of English: Short vowels (6) Long vowels (5) e - bet, men, yes (e) ᴂ - bat, man, gas (ä) 3: - bird, heard (öö)
non-related ones. The most common words (`good', `to be', `to go', `much', "people", etc). General principle: the more frequently used a word, the more one can "afford" it to be irregular/non-iconic. Suppletion perhaps the most drastic form of irregularity/iconicity), covers mainly the most frequent words Metathesis-Two sounds, at least one of which is a consonant, change places inside a word. When one of the sounds is a vowel,the other is usually /r/. Fyrst/first/frist a typical case of metathesis.Another case in the passage: beorht/briht.Metathesis present in many languages, a universal phenomenon. For Instance, Proto-Indo-European had tworoots *spek- and the metathetical *skep-, both with the basic meaning of "look, observe, examine". The first is behind Latin words that produced such English loans as spectacle, spectator, expect, inspect, perspective, etc

Rhyme is regular sound repetition occurring at the end of poetic lines (rhyming words have similar or identical sound combinations). Full rhyme identical sounds (last stressed vowel and following consonant) tide-side, cold-gold. Incomplete rhyme derived from full rhyme. Vowel rhyme identical vowels and different consonants pen-best. Consonant rhyme identical consonants and different vowels love-live. Compound rhyme made up of 2 or more words united by single stress women=two men. Eye-rhyme contains identical letters while vowels are pronounced differently farm-warm. Internal rhyme occurs within a poetic line. Head rhyme connects the end of a line with the beginning of the next one by similar sound combinations.
phonemes are most salient in determining sexual orientation? Authors: Erik C. Tracy, Sierra A. Bainter, Nicholas P. Satariano 2015 Goal: "While numerous studies have demonstrated that a male speaker's sexual orientation can be identified from relatively long passages of speech, few studies have evaluated whether listeners can determine sexual orientation when presented with word-length stimuli." Also, if listeners form their judgements based on a phoneme, such as vowel or consonant, or multiple phonemes, such and vowel and consonant. Experiment 1: purpose in Experiment 1 was to determine whether listeners can distinguish between self-identified gay and heterosexual male speakers of American English upon hearing word-length stimuli. Experiment 2: The purpose of Experiment 2 was to determine which phonemes, such as a vowel or consonant, listeners rely on when forming their sexual orientation judgments. Furthermore, in this

NAVAJO LANGUAGE Merilin Reisenbuk What is Navajo Language? Navajo is an Athabaskan (is a large group of indigenous peoples of North America) language spoken in the southwest United States by the Navajo people. It is geographically and linguistically one of the Southern Athabaskan languages. Orthography and pronunciation Consonants Vowels. Navajo has four basic vowel qualities: a, e, i and o. Each of these may occur either short or long. Tones. Navajo has two tones, low and high. - high, as in áá and éé - low, as in aa and ee Grammar The key element in Navajo is the verb. Every verb must have at least one prefix. Many concepts expressed using nouns in other languages appear as verbs in Navajo. There are two main types of nouns in Navajo: -Simple nouns (béésh - "knife")
1 After s, sh, ch and x we add -es. I pass it passes I wash she washes I catch he catches I mix he mixes 2 Some verbs ending in o have -es. I go he goes I do she does 3 When a verb ends in a consonant + y, the y changes to -ies. I hurry he hurries I copy she copies 2 Whe do not change y after a vowel. I stay he stays I enjoy he enjoys When to use the Present Simple The Present simple generally refers to: · Facts that are always true Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. · Habits and repeated actions British people drink a lot of tea. I get up at seven, have breakfast and go to university. · States, thoughts and feelings I don't like gangster films. The Present Simple is also used in

and emphatic qualities: 15 Tenderly bury the fair young dead ...(La Costa) Or: Forgive what seemed my sin in me. (Tennyson) Normally, assonance does not appear alone: it is accompanied by other means of sound orchestration, i.e alliteration, rhyme: Hear the sledges with the bells Silver bells What a world of merriment their melody foretells! (Poe) Some scholars have attempted to relate vowel sounds to the meaning they convey. The sound / I / , either alone or in dipthtongs, is said to produce the impression of lightness, airiness, brightness. The fields breathe sweet, the daisises kiss our feet, Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit ... (T.Nashe) The length of vowels is also relevant: long vowels tend to sound more peaceful or more solemn than short ones, which tend to give an impression of quick movement, agitation or triviality
Example: She has cancer. · Is not used with time of day. Example: We'll be there around midnight. · Is not used when you are speaking about transport. Example: He comes to work by taxi. A/an Using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word. · a is used before singular countable nouns which begin with a consonant sound. Examples: a boy, a car, a bike, a zoo, a union, a house · an is used before singular countable nouns which begin with a vowel sound. Examples: an elephant, an egg, an apple, an orphan, an army · Is used when referring to an unspecified thing. Exmaple: Mary really wants a dog for Christmas. "When I was at the zoo, I saw an elephant!" · Is used with singular countable nouns when we want to say what sombody/something is or what someone's job is. Example: It is a cat. Sue is an engineer. · Is used when something/somebody is mentioned first time. Example: She picked up a book.
Were you/we/they? 2 The spelling of endings in the Past Simple Regular verbs have -ed in the Past Simple tense. look looked call called 1. If the verb ends in -e, we just add -d. hope hoped save saved 2. When a verb ends in a consonant + -y, the -y changes into -ied. hurry hurried copy copied 3. If a one-syllable verb ends with one vowel and one consonant, we double the consonant. beg begged plan planned We also double the consonant in words of more than one syllable, if the last syllable is stressed. permit permitted prefer preferred In British English l is usually doubled, even if the syllable is unstressed. travel travelled When to use the Past Simple Past Simple generally refers to: • Completed or finished actions
The superlative degree is usually used with the definite article the. Formation of comparatives and superlatives from adjectives and adverbs: Adjectives 1) one-syllable Adjectives • for one-syllable adjectives, add –er to form the comparative and -est to form the superlative: sweet sweeter the sweetest If an adjective ends with a mute –e, it is omitted: late later the latest NOTE! For one-syllable adjectives ending in a vowel + consonant, we double the consonant: big bigger the biggest • with one-syllable adjectives ending in –ed we use more and most pleased more pleased most pleased 2 2) two-syllable Adjectives • with two-syllable adjectives ending in –ly, -y, -w, we also add –er/-est narrow narrower the narrowest NOTE

2. RP - Accent which is normally taught to students who are studying EngEng. Used natively by only 3-5% of the population of England. RP has a large number of diphthongs and not a particularly close relationship to English orthography. RP is a social accent, rather than regional, and is associated particularly with the upper-middle and upper classes. Some features: · The /i:/ of bee, rather than the // of be, occurs in the final syllable of very, many, etc. · The vowel // in unstressed syllables (in RP) often corresponds to // (in near-RP accents). · The consonant /t/ may be realized as a glottal stop [?]. · Most EngEng accents have lost the original contrast. · Some English accents are ,,rhotic" or ,,r-ful" and others are ,,non-rhotic" or ,,r-less". 3. Estuary English - a dialect of English widely spoken in South East England. IT is commong among young Londoners. Something between RP and Cockney. Some features: · Non-rhotic
liquids in motion, streams, water, rest, peace, luxury, voluptuousness; f and w - and to a lesser extent v, suggest wind and any motion of a light kind; th - tends to be quiet and soothing (). ASSONANCE - it is resemblance or similarity in sound between vowels followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables. Assonance differs from RHYME in that RHYME is a similarity of vowel and consonant. "Lake" and "fake" demonstrate RHYME; "lake" and "fate" assonance. Assonance or vocalic alliteration enhances () the rhythmical pattern. It has melodious and emphatic qualities. Normally, assonance does not appear alone: it is accompanied by other means of sound orchestration, i.e. alliteration, rhyme , etc. There have been attempts to relate vowel sounds to the meaning they convey. The sound [i], for example, either alone or in diphthongs, is said to produce the

..................................... 6 No article.............................................................................. 7 Countable and uncountable nouns ....................................... 9 General Rules There are two articles in the English language – the Indefinite Article and the Definite Article. The Indefinite Article has two forms – a and an (a precedes words beginning with a consonant sound and an precedes words beginning with a vowel sound). It comes from the Old English word ãn, which meant one. The Definite Article is the. It comes from the Old English word ţis, which meant this. Thus, in most general terms, a and an cannot be used with countable nouns in the plural and with uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are names of the things you can count (one elephant, two elephants, three elephants, etc). Uncountable nouns are names of the things you cannot normally count (love, air, philosophy, etc)

z s z, ce, ci th (in northern Spain only) The five vowels in Spanish are all pure vowels: [a], [e], [i], [o], [u] Be sure that you do not pronounce a diphthong as we do in English (the extra yuh or wuh sound at the end). Stress: Just as in English, Spanish stresses a certain syllable in a word. If a word ends in a consonant, except s or n, the stress is on the last syllable. If a word ends in a vowel, or s or n, the stress is on the second-to-last syllable. For words that do no follow these rules, an accent is written over the vowel so that you will know to stress that syllable, as in el pájaro (bird). Please keep in mind that because Spanish is spoken in many countries, there are several regional dialects and accents so pronunciation rules may not apply to all countries. This tutorial is mostly concerned with the language that is spoken in Mexico and Spain. 3. Alphabet
with a Brew walking tour of Tallinn. Otherwise, here is a brief summary of the ways you may like to enjoy a tipple, Estonian style. BEER Most people will usually want to try an Estonian beer, and while there are lots on offer, two main breweries dominate the market. Saku, Estonia's biggest brewer, was established as the brewery of Saku Manor. You will easily find Saku Originaal (make sure to double the vowel sound when ordering!) on tap in pubs and bars. Saku Kuld (Gold) is pitched as a premium beer, and well worth a try. However both of these are fairly standard lager style beers. For real beer connoisseurs, we here at EstAdventures recommend Saku Tume (Dark) or if you can locate is Saku Abbey. You may wish to visit the Saku Brewery on an EstAdventures tour. Traditionally Saku has dominated in Northern estonia, whereas A. Le Coq has been the choice of southern Estonians
Language Estonia's official language is Estonian. It is spoken by about 1.1 million people in Estonia and by about ten thousand people who live in various other countries. It is a Finno-Ugric language and it is closely related to Finnish. For a small nation a language plays a key role in maintaining its national identity. Estonian language uses the Latin alphabet and it has 32 letters. An interesting feature that sets Estonian apart from most languages is the vowel. The most unusal ones for foreingers are ä,ö,õ and ü. The language also has grammar durations and declinations. There are three durations (short, long and extra long and ) and fourteen decliantions. These are possibly the hardest thing for a foreinger to learn. Also postpositions are used quite often. In Estonian no articles or genders are used. Most loans come from German language. 9

Swimming = object of the preposition to. indefinite article In English, the two indefinite articles are a and an. Like other articles, indefinite articles are invariable. You use one or the other, depending on the first letter of the word following the article, for pronunciation reasons. Use a when the next word starts with a consonant, or before words starting in u and eu when they sound like you. Use an when the next word starts with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) or with a mute h. The indefinite article is used to refer to something for the first time or to refer to a particular member of a group or class. movement verb position verb possessive determiner In English grammar, a possessive determiner is a type of function word used in front of a noun to express possession or belonging (as in "my phone"). The possessive determiners in English are my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.

The teacher might point 3 sounds to make a word or vice versa. It can be left on the classroom wall. There are several opportunities to play with sounds: - to play sound bingo - noughts and crosses - odd man out Working with stress Stress is important in individual words, in phrases, in sentences. By shifting it we can change emphasis or meaning. When students meet new words in class the teacher will mark the stress of those words or to show where the weak vowel sounds occur in words. Working with intonation We need to draw our St-s' attention to the way we use changes in pitch to convey meaning, to reflect the thematic structure, and to convey mood. 13 One simple way of doing this is to show how many different meanings can be squeezes out of just one word (such as yes). The point of exercises is to raise the students' awareness of the power of intonation
Plural has three broad categories → 1) Regular → Nouns that take suffix /s/. For example: dog, cat → In some cases noun the suffix /–es/. For example: potatoes, boxes, bushes 2) Irregular → Vowel change. For example: man – men, foot – feet, mouse – mice Suffix /–en/. For example: Child – children Plural is the same as singular. For example: fish, sheep Some nouns ending with /-f/ or /-fe/
classes spoke English and the upper classes spoke French. In the 14th century English became dominant in Britain again, but with many French words added. This language is called Middle English. It was the language of the great poet Chaucer (c1340-1400), but it would still be difficult for native English speakers to understand today. [5] 3) Early Modern English (1500-1800) Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden and distinct change in pronunciation (the Great Vowel Shift) started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with many peoples from around the world. This, and the Renaissance of Classical learning, meant that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a 5 common language in print
Dialectology within Russia recognizes dozens of smaller-scale variants. The dialects often show distinct and non-standard features of pronunciation and intonation, vocabulary and grammar. Some of these are relics of ancient usage now completely discarded by the standard language. The Northern Russian dialects and those spoken along the Volga River typically pronounce unstressed /o/ clearly, a phenomenon called okanye (). Besides the absence of vowel reduction, some dialects have high or diphthongal /ei/ in the place of Proto-Slavic * and /ou/ in stressed closed syllables (as in Ukrainian) instead of Standard Russian /e/ and /o/. An interesting morphological feature is a post-posed definite article -to, -ta, -te similarly to that existing in Bulgarian and Macedonian. In the Southern Russian dialects, instances of unstressed /e/ and /a/ following palatalized

Simplest of all, and hence the lowest in rank and last to be read (excluding plain language), was the LA code, so called from the indicator group LA that preceded its codetexts. LA did little more than put kata kana into roman letters for telegraphic transmission and to secure some abbreviation for cable economy. Thus the kana for ki was replaced by the code form CI, the kana for to by IF, the two-kana combination of ka + n by CE. Its two-letter codewords, all of either vowel-consonant or consonant- vowel form and including such as ZO for 4, were supplemented by a list of four-letter codewords, such as TUVE for dollars, SISA for ryoji ("consul"), and XYGY for Yokohama. A very typical LA message is serial 01250 from the Foreign Minister to Kita, dated December 4, which begins in translation: "The following has been authorized as the year-end bonus for employee typists of your office." This sort of code is generally called a
