  2. The Phonetic Alphabet (Fromkin et al., p. 232) • Orthography = alphabetic spelling • Phonetics = way for the same sound to be spelled with the same letter every time, and for any letter to stand for the same sound every time.

  3. How do your spell ? • George Bernard Shaw complained that spelling was so inconsistent that fish could be spelled ghoti—ghas in tough, o as in women, and tias in nation.

  4. Silent letters & hidden sounds

  5. IPA

  12. Place of Articulation of English Consonants: TABLE 6.2, p. 238 • Bilabial: p b m • Labiodental: f v • Interdental: θ ð • Alveolar: t d n s z l r • Palatal: ʃʒtʃdʒ • Velar: k g ŋ • Glottal: h ʔ

  13. Palatal: ʃʒtʃdʒ • the constriction occurs by raising the front part of the tongue to the palate. • mission [mɪʃən] • Measure [mɛʒər] • cheap [tʃip] • judge [dʒʌdʒ] • yoyo [jojo]

  14. Velar: k g ŋ • sounds produced by raising the back of the tongue to the soft palate or velum • The initial and final sounds of: • kick[kɪk] • gig [gɪg • final sounds of: • back [bӕk] • bag [bӕg] • bang [bӕŋ]

  15. Uvulars [ʀ] [q] [ɢ] • produced by raising the back of the tongue to the uvula, the fleshy protuberance that hangs down in the back of our throats. • The r in French is often a uvular trill symbolized by [ʀ]. • The uvular sounds [q] and [ɢ] occur in Arabic. These sounds do not ordinarily occur in English.

  16. Glottal: h ʔ • [h] • flow of air through the open glottis, and past the tongue and lips • a vowel sound always follows [h] • [ʔ] • air is stopped completely at the glottis by tightly closed vocal cords • glottal stop: interjection “uh-oh” [ʔʌʔo]
