Document Summary
Intended to provide a small set of symbols with a standard interpretation. Optimistic think of latin, ancient, greek, etc. Ipa- see page 7 and always keep handy. Symbols should be treated as approximant representations, not exact (so says text not some phoneticians) Glides /j/ or /y/ and /w/ are sometimes used to signify diphthongs. /i/, /i/, /y/, /u/, / / and /:/(indicate difference in length) are also sometimes used but try to be consistent and use ipa in your own notation. Ex. sej sow se so not se sow. Hindi be verbs, singular and plural he vs he . Tone common in many asian, american, and african languages; also found in. Tone is relative cant always be heard in isolation unless a contour tone. Varies by age, size and gender of speaker. Phonation type: may contrast by type of voicing used. Often more vowel like in nature (ex. more sonorant weak constriction)
