Pronunciation Methods of Phonetic Words in English

Phoneme: The smallest unit of sound. There are 48 phonemes in English. Syllable: A phonetic unit consisting of vowels and consonants. Vowels: Pronunciation is loud, music and air flow in the mouth are smooth, which are the main components of syllables. There are 20 vowels in English. Consonants: loud pronunciation, noise, and blocked airflow in the mouth are not important components of syllables. English has 28 consonants.

1) Consonant+vowel+consonant+silent e For example:

The name of kite cake Bicycle makes the plane take home shine.

2) Consonants+vowels, such as:

Hey, he's going to be a quilt. Hello, shut up.

1) consonant+vowel+consonant:

Sitting on the bed, the bad bag jumps and makes the map crazy.

2) vowels+consonants, such as:

It's an ant in and out.

International English 26 letters and phonetic symbols 26 English letters and phonetic symbols are as follows:

Ii Yy is also called consonant in the learning of English phonetic symbols. As the name implies, consonants exist according to vowels, and consonants and vowels cooperate to produce syllables, which constitutes the diversity of English. Consonants include voiced and unvoiced sounds. The vocal cords do not vibrate when pronouncing, and the aspirated ones are called unvoiced consonants; A voiced consonant is a voiced sound produced when the vocal cords vibrate without aspiration. Consonants are all sounds, because the airflow is hindered to varying degrees when pronouncing, and the sound is not as crisp and pleasant as vowels. When you pronounce consonants, you can feel the following characteristics in both American English and English: 1) The airflow is blocked. The airflow exhaled by the lungs is blocked when passing through the mouth or nose (there is no obstacle in vowel pronunciation). 2) Strong airflow. When vowels are pronounced, the airflow is weak. 3) Prevent some muscle tension (vowels keep muscle tension in a balanced way). 4) Clear and turbid. When a light consonant is pronounced, the vocal cords do not vibrate, for example:

[k] [s] [f] [p] [t] When voiced consonants are voiced, the vocal cords should vibrate, for example:

[g] [z] [v] [b] [d] How to distinguish voiced consonants and pronounce them correctly? It has always been a problem that puzzles many beginners. Friends often ask how to distinguish these sounds, especially [p] and [b], [t] and [d]. Let me give you a brief introduction. When making light consonants, the pronunciation position is relatively front, in the front of the mouth, and the vocal cords are not vibrated. When pronouncing, people feel forward, and when voiced consonants, people feel head backward. If you pronounce [s][z], it is easy to understand and distinguish. Similarly, the pronunciation of [p][b]. [p] it's crisp,

In Mandarin,

[pi] = [ratio],

[po]=[ wave ][b] There is no corresponding sound in Mandarin. Pronunciation as much as possible. Similar to the sound of byby in English, the mouth is more tense. [t]

[ta]=[ big ][ti]=[ small ][d]

Pronunciation is like the English word day 1. Classification by pronunciation method (consonant): mode

(Pronunciation) Mode 1. Stop

Popping sound-refers to the sound produced by the vocal organs forming obstacles in the mouth and then the air flow breaks through the obstacles. 2. Fricative sound

Rubbing sound-the sound produced by the gap caused by the friction of air flow caused by the vocal organs. affricate

Rubbing-the sound formed by the close combination of affricate and affricate. When pronouncing, note that the initial obstruction is completely blocked and then gradually opened. nasal

Nasal sound-the sound made when the air flow in the mouth is blocked, the soft palate is drooping and the nasal cavity is ventilated. 5. liquid

Flowing sound-measuring sound of gingival flow on the tip of the tongue. The tip of the tongue clings to the upper gum, the tongue is lifted forward to the hard palate, and the air flows out from one or both sides of the tongue. glide

Slippery-refers to the excessive sound made by the vocal organs when they move towards or away from a certain pronunciation action. -

2. Classification by pronunciation position (consonant): position

(Pronunciation) Location 1.bilabial

Billip sound-a consonant formed by the contact between the upper lip and the lower lip, which hinders the flow of language. 2. Lips and teeth

Lip sound-a consonant produced by the occlusion of the lips and teeth. 3. Language-dentistry

Tongue-tooth sound-the sound made by teeth biting the tongue. 4. Taste

Palatal sound-the sound made by the tongue against the palate. 5. Tongue coating

Soft palate sound-the sound made when the tongue touches the soft palate. 6.glottis

Glottic sound-the sound emitted from the glottis. -

Third, according to the phonetic classification (consonants): pronunciation

Voice 1. Audio

Voiced voice-the consonant produced by vocal cord vibration, in addition to the obstruction of airflow, also vibrates the vocal cords to produce music. Step 2 be silent

Voiced voice-a consonant produced by no vibration of vocal cords during pronunciation, that is, unvoiced voice is only composed of airflow obstruction, and there is no music. -

Fourth, the classification of vowels: 1. Monovowel Monovowel 2. Pre-vowel 3. Middle vowel 4. Post-vowel 5. diphthongs-diphthongs compound vowel.

* * * The * * nature of single vowel pronunciation:

1. The tongue is still;

2. There is no friction in the pronunciation process;

3. Not hindered by any vocal organs. * * * Monovowel pronunciation characteristics:

1. When the preceding vowel is pronounced,

The tip of the tongue * is close to the lower teeth,

Protrusion of tongue;

2. When pronouncing Chinese vowels,

The tongue end leaves the lower teeth,

The middle part of the tongue is convex;

3. When vowels are pronounced,

The tongue end leaves the lower teeth,

When the back of the tongue is raised. 1. /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ When any two phonemes of these six plosives are adjacent, the former produces an incomplete plosive sound, that is, you only need to prepare your pronunciation, not pronounce it, and then make the following sound after a pause. The latter is completely. Completely exploded. For example:

He has a bachelor's degree today.

You should take good care of these children. Nice to meet you. 2. Blasting sound /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ in/TF /tF/, /dV/, /W/, /T/ w/. For example:

Have you read the book about that child?

The third chair is broken. The blasting sound /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ is not completely blasted before /m/, /n/, /l/, /s/. For example:

Good morning, sir.

Good night

They are very friendly to us. Note: Incomplete bursts can appear in words, phrases or sentences.

A preliminary understanding of voiced consonants. 1, voiced consonants are just a pronunciation phenomenon, not a rule, and authentic English teachers are opposed to making a special rule to explain this problem. There is only one general pronunciation rule: read according to the phonetic notation in the dictionary, and follow the habit of authentic English if you want to change it. 3. The unvoiced consonant after the s is only a small part of the unvoiced consonant, and in many cases it may be unvoiced without the s. Such as water, fun, meeting, walking and so on. Authentic English will generally pronounce the consonants in the middle of these words into corresponding voiced consonants, just like English. 4. The phenomenon of voiced consonants behind S can be summarized as follows: voiced consonants are followed by a vowel and preceded by an S. No matter in front of or in the middle of a word, as long as they are stressed syllables or sub-stressed syllables, they are generally pronounced as corresponding voiced consonants, such as stand, strike, speak and sky. It is worth mentioning that strike should be the voice of a "doctor" (as in a dream). In fact, no one needs to read like this. If you ask foreigners this question, most of them can't answer it, but the unvoiced consonants in these related words will naturally become voiced consonants.

If there is no vowel after this combination, there is no voiced problem. Such as grasping, taking exams, and Taiwan. The consonants are still clearly pronounced.

There are exceptions, so don't say it doesn't conform to the rules, because without rules, it is impossible to insist on making rules. For example, students, idiots, if they pronounce it as [sd…] according to that so-called rule, it will be very ugly. People who speak authentic English will know to ask, "Are you from China?" . The letter "T" here is usually pronounced as the sound of "J" in jeep. 1. There are two rules for linking: 1, words ending in consonants+words beginning with vowels: linking.

I want to eat another bowl of rice.

Here like/laik/ ends with a consonant and the other begins with a vowel, so it is continuous reading.

note:

Ending with a consonant means that the last sound in the phonetic symbol is a consonant, not a suffix, just like the definite article in front of u[ju]. ] universities must use a.2. Words ending in consonants+words beginning with h are not pronounced, just like the previous consonants.

What will he do?

Has he done it before?

Shall we go?

Can he do it?

Should he ...?

Tell him to ask her ...

Leave him.

For him (if you see this word, you will find it is like a forum)

I was very excited when I first learned the rules of continuous reading. I easily understand many sentences that I found difficult to understand before, so the pronunciation is much easier. Confirm "economy" again. Second, the assimilation of sound The assimilation of sound is also a phenomenon of continuous reading. The transition between two words is very smooth, which causes one sound to change under the influence of adjacent sounds. There are three main ways:

1, when the consonant [d] is adjacent to [j], it is assimilated into [dэ]:

Would you ...

2. When the consonant [t] is adjacent to [j], it is assimilated into [t∫]:

Can you:. . . ?

3. When the consonant [s] is adjacent to [j], it is assimilated into [∫]:

Miss you three, aphonia Because aphonia blasting is a phenomenon of aphonia, fricative will also be aphonia, so it is collectively called aphonia.

note:

The blasting sound is not completely lost, but it still forms an obstacle, blocking the airflow inside, but not blasting, directly emitting adjacent consonants.

Rule: 1, consonant plosive sound or fricative sound is followed by plosive sound, fricative sound, friction, etc. , in front of the consonant to lose the plosive.

There are many such examples, and the consonants marked in red are not pronounced:

Sit down: the teacher who sends it again will not send it [t].

Contact lenses:

Big cake

Dad told me.

Great changes

Good night, four. Voiced consonants after voiced 1 and [S] should be voiced.

Discussion: [k] Turbidity becomes [g]

Position: [t] turbidity becomes [d]

Expression: [p] Turbidity becomes 2. In American English: [t] becomes [d] in the middle of words, such as:

Writer, sounds like rider.

Letter ladder

Go out from ...

In order to save trouble, Americans and Canadians are used to voiced sounds, especially [t] will definitely be pronounced as [d] in the middle of words, but English pronunciation will not be like this, which is also a big difference between British and American pronunciation. Understanding this turbidity principle will bring some help to listening. V. Weak reading Generally speaking:

Emphasize notional words, such as verbs, nouns and adverbs;

Weak reading of function words, such as prepositions and pronouns.

The rule of weak reading is generally: vowel syllables are weakened to [E] or.

For example, the following words: for/to/some/does/of.

Look up these words in the dictionary and you will find that they have at least two pronunciations, such as

For: when stressed [fR:], when read weakly [fE]
