Document Summary

Vowel, consonant, onset, coda, nucleus, syllabic consonant, stress. Nucleus: contains a vowel or a syllabic consonant. Onset & coda: made up of consonants. Stress: certain syllables are more stressed that others. Organized by height, backness, roundness, and tenseness. Rounded is on the right, unrounded is. What is the difference between r-ful and r- dropping dialects? on the left. These vowels are more spread out and easier to distinguish. They do not contrast in roundness or tenseness. Refer to the position of the tongue in the mouth. There is too much speaker to speaker variation to account for all the possible articulations of a single sound: spots for the vowels are more like an area that the vowel can occur in. Tense: higher, longer, more muscular tension, tongue farther forward. They both make the space in front of the tongue larger. [i] [y] vs. [ ] and [u] l marked l. R-ful: [r] is pronounced in the coda position.
