Document Summary
This note will be a sort of review for chapters 2 and 3. It will be good if you know the 2 main tables, which are for consonants and vowels: consonants. Fricatives m (man) t (tea) d (did) n (no) Glides (voiced: vowels j (yes) k (cat) g (give) To have a minimal pair: the difference in 1 column + a difference in meaning = minimal pair. Rules of grammar in english: nasalize vowels before nasals. To apply this rule, use this symbol ~ To apply this rule, use this symbol . Moon = mun = m n (application of rule 1) = m n (application rule 2) 3) aspirate voiceless stops at beginning of stressed syllables. Voiceless stops are p, t and k. they must be found at the initial of a syllable, if not, do not apply this rule. Pick = [p k] / think = t k: lengthen vowels before voiced consonant.
