| The 8 basic English vowels | /i,e,æ,ə,ʌ,a,o,u/ |
| Descriptions of vowels | tense or lax; retro flex or bunched; round or unrounds |
| Why are vowels difficult to transcribe? | vowels can be non discrete compared to the discrete nature of consonants |
| /ŋ/ | stands for the sound often spelled ng; stands for sounds spelled /n/ when it occurs before /g,k/ |
| Intervocalic /t/ | some speakers of American English produce words that are spelled with t or tt often pronounce those sounds as /d/; occurs between vowels and the vowel following does not carry stress (bitter may sound like bidder);place small v under the /t/ |
| Past tense (-ed) can be produced in how many ways? | 3 |
| past tense pronounced with a voiceless stop /t/ | the verb ends with any voiceless consonant except /t/ (mapped, packed) |
| Past tense pronounced as a voiced stop /d/ | any voiced consonant except /d/ ends the word (tabbed, begged0 |
| past tense pronounced and transcribed as a separate syllable containing a vowel /ə,ɪ/ and /d/ | if the verb ends with a /t/ or /d/ (netted, padded) |
| Syllabics | in unstressed syllables /l,m,n,ŋ/ may exhibit a change involving vowel reduction but different than inserting /ə,ɪ/ |
| When is a syllabic consonant more likely to occur? | When the articulators don't move between the preceding sound and the lateral or nasal sounds (button,total); use diacritical marking of a small vertical line under the sound |
