How to distinguish open syllables from closed syllables in English phonetic symbols?

Generally speaking, when the structure of the last few letters of a word is vowel+consonant +e, the vowel pronunciation is open, that is, the original sound of the letter is read, and e is silent, such as a in take, blame and name. , called relatively open syllable; Letters with only one e placed directly at the end or at the end often pronounce their original sounds, such as hi, blue (where u reads /u:/) and so on.

Of course, there are many special circumstances.

One-sided understanding of "closed syllable" should be corrected

-And answer the question of 222.438+07.438+007. * 6-22 June.

222.2 17. 107.* q: the vowel sounds in closed syllable words are very short. But the vowels in talk and sheep are also closed syllables?

Answer the above questions:-

All syllables blocked by consonants (called initials in Chinese) are called "closed syllables". There is no need to consider whether vowels in syllables are long or short.

For my above statement, mainland netizens may not accept it for a while, because it is somewhat different from the definition in your book. The definition in your book is one-sided. Including the definition in the Complete Works of English Teaching in Middle Schools published by People's Education Publishing House 1996, is also one-sided.

The following content is taken from the document on my computer, not improvised:

Regarding the definitions of "open syllable" and "closed syllable", I suggest you read Hartman &; Definitions in the dictionary of language and linguistics compiled by Stork;

-open syllable: a syllable ending in a vowel, such as me or high.

-closed syllables: syllables ending in consonants, such as hit, hat and hide.

The textbooks in our country only recognize hit and hat as closed syllables, but do not recognize hide as closed syllables. Obviously, it does not conform to the foreign definition.

At the same time, I suggest you look at the definition in Ci Hai. The definition in Chinese middle school English textbooks is also contrary to that in our own Ci Hai.

The definition in English textbooks in China is one-sided. I am against "spreading false information", so in 1995, I persuaded a "master student" majoring in English in Tsinghua University not to use that one-sided definition. 1998 I also abandoned the one-sided definition in my own English Pronunciation Lecture Notes. I hope that the English education authorities will correct this imperfect definition as soon as possible. Make the "terms" in our textbooks conform to international standards and the definitions in Ci Hai.

However, "correcting deviation" is also very difficult.

The stressed closed syllable of a verb is a so-called vowel letter, not its own letter sound.

Stressed closed syllables refer to syllables ending in consonants, which are stressed syllables, such as apple.
