VOWEL SOUNDS

From English File Beginner Oxford University Press

1. /i:/ as in sheep 2. /ɪ / as in ship 3. /e/ as in pen 4. /æ/ as in cat 5. /ɑ:/ as in heart 6. /ɒ/ as in clock 7. /ɔ:/ as in ball 8. /ʊ/ as in book 9. /u:/ as in boot 10. /ʌ/ as in cup 11. /ɜ:/ as in bird 12. /ə/ as in a camera

Diphthongs / eɪ / as in pain /əʊ/ as in phone /ɑɪ / as in buy /ɑʊ/ as in cow / ɔɪ / as in boy /ɪə / as in ear /eə/ as in hair /ʊə/ as in tour

The term "lexical set" wasdevised by John Wells (1982) as a convenient way of identifying vowel categories not by symbols, but by a set of words in which they occur.

Diphthongs

Basic Vowel Pattern consonant+vowel+consonant or vowel+consonant

This rule states that when a wordends with a silent "e", it makes the first vowel say its name.

Among the exceptions we find words ending in –ve: prove, have give live, etc. However, when consonants are doubled the original vowel sound is retained. For example:

Magic "Y"

This ending has practically the same effect on the central vowel as the silent “e”. However, this “magic y” is blocked by the presence of a double consonant combination.

Radical "r"

It changes the basic vowel sound in the middle of a word. If the "r" is present between the central vowel and a consonant, it transforms that vowel into a longer and more open one, even in the stressed syllable of a multisyllable word. When we find the radical “r” at the end of a word and followed by a silent “e” the vowel of “a”, “e”, “i”, “o”, and “u” is even more open.

Two vowels together
