  3. Remind yourself about approximants: • Fricatives – turbulent airflow • Approximants – laminar airflow

  4. Approximants laminar flow

  5. Fricatives turbulent flow

  6. Remind yourself about tuhe diference beteen Icelandic and English v ....

  7. Features: unvoiced labiodental fricative f fine, life

  8. Features: voiced labiodental fricative v very clever

  9. Review: f and v • Labio-dental fricatives, f and v    • One point to remember is that the Icelandic LETTER f is often used to represent the SOUND v. This is not so in English - f is f, and v is v. So for instance the words life and live, leaf and leave, are quite different in English - remember there is a tendency in "Icelandic English" to pronounce them the same: • Remember - different vowel length, too!. from web-page http://www.hi.is/~peturk/KENNSLA/02/TOP/fric.html#labden

  10. Review: f and v • Labio-dental fricatives, f and v    • Make sure your f is unvoiced. Another point to remember is that English v is a much STRONGER sound than Icelandic v, which often almost disappears in words like próf and prófa. English v is LABIO-DENTAL: bottom lip FIRMLY against top teeth. Keep the top lip out of the way, otherwise you'll make it sound like w • And make sure you're not losing it in words like over and clever. from web-page http://www.hi.is/~peturk/KENNSLA/02/TOP/fric.html#labden

  11. Back to w... • w is a bilabial approximant with secondary velar articulation. • Icelanders have problems distinguishing between v and w. There is no w in Icelandic, and yet, to English ears, Icelanders always seem to have w in words like 'very', 'revolve'. Why is this? from web-page http://www.hi.is/~peturk/KENNSLA/02/TOP/jw.html#w

  12. Back to w... • English v is a much STRONGER sound than Icelandic v - it's a fricative, while Icelandic v is an APPROXIMANT, like English w • English v is LABIO-DENTAL (bottom lip agains top teeth: show your top teeth!) while w is BILABIAL (both lips). from web-page http://www.hi.is/~peturk/KENNSLA/02/TOP/jw.html#w

  13. Back to w... • w has secondary velar articulation - while the lips are making the 'w' shape (rounding), the back of the tongue is making a velar approximant - vey much like the g in 'ógurlega' . from web-page http://www.hi.is/~peturk/KENNSLA/02/TOP/jw.html#w
