PHONETICS
There are more than a million words in the English language. A single word may be pronounced
in different ways by different people. The spelling of an English word does not necessarily tell
you how to pronounce a word. Therefore, phonetics, the study of speech sounds, with the use
of phonetic transcriptions, is essential. Phonetic transcription is the visual representation of
speech sounds, which consists of symbols.
As a first time learner, you may feel that the phonetic transcriptions are confusing but once
you understand how to use them to speak better, you will find them very interesting.
Similar to the English alphabet, Phonetics follows a slightly different phonetic alphabet. They
consist of 20 vowel sounds (12 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs) and 24 consonant sounds.
SYMBOLS
[] Used to indicate which part of a word has to be stressed i.e. with extra force.
e.g. for the word alarm, the stress occurs as alarm.
[:] Used to indicate the length of the sound that is pronounced.
e.g. for the word feet, the phonetic symbol is /fi:t/, where the symbol [:] is used to indicate
the length of the sound.
[.] Used to indicate the pause between the sounds in a word while pronouncing.
e.g. for the word marble, the phonetic symbol is /ma:.bl/, where the symbol
[.] is used to indicate the pause between the two syllables.
