poetry. Rhyme Rhyme is a musical device that uses vowel sounds that rhyme through similar construction. To qualify as a rhyme, the vowel sounds and all of the sounds that come after the vowel sounds must be closely related. For instance, the first part of the word can be any consonance, but once the vowel is sounded, the rhyming word must be similar. The words dream and steam both start with different consonants, but end with the same vowels and…

composed of using the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet. Third, the spoken sounds are represented by specific letters and letter combinations. When all the phonemes through the vowel form the body of a syllable is called the Body and Coda. The body of a syllable is when we combine the onset with a vowel. The coda is everything after the body. The body is the first part of a syllable including the volume sound and the coda is what is left. In other words, the body-coda involves…

and clinician continued to target the front vowels. The client participated in an auditory discrimination task for all the front vowels. The client was able to distinguish between the vowels with 96% (22/23). Regarding drilling at the word level for the vowel /i/ (level 3 of Complexity of Task Continuum), the client was at level 1; 4% (1/24); level 2 0% (0/24); level 3 13% (3/24); and level 4 83% (18/24). Regarding drilling at the word level for the vowel /I/, the client was at level 1; 3.5%…

to just two used for singular and plural. However, in modern English today adjectives will often perform just one. Also pronunciation stresses gradually shifted toward the beginning of words instead, of on the lexical root as in Old English. Many vowels acquired unstressed “schwa” or symbols used today in Standard American English, “these symbols are not the same as letters in English rather, they represent the sounds of the language.” (43) Examples of these sound symbols are “e” as in “taken”…

On Monday I had the opportunity to observe Dr. Koehler give a lesson to a baritone named Ryan. My first impressions of Ryan were very positive. He seemed to have a great grasp on proper technique in almost every category. Dr. Koehler’s comments and corrections dealt with more advanced techniques and realms of thought. During the warm-up, Dr. Koehler critiqued Ryan’s phonation, saying that you shouldn’t use force or push when starting phonation. Ryan was coming off of an illness, and his initial…

Similar to before, she did excellent on initial consonants, short vowels, diagraphs, and blends. However, she missed one on her final consonants. The word that I had given Kassidy was “wait” she spelled it “waite.” Once I scored the common long vowels and other vowels, it was evident to me that, within word pattern, middle to late, was her spelling stage. She scored a four out of seven each of the sections. Before…

fricative m1, vowel duration, and vowel-space dispersion. The independent variables are the stimuli produced by the children and the children’s developmental level. Results Julien and Munson (2012) reported that /s/ had higher m1 and shorter duration than /sh/. The /s/ fricative had higher m1 in clear-speech, but /sh/ had lower m1 in clear speech. The vowels were longer and more dispersed in clear speech productions. The durations of fricatives were longer in clear speech. The vowel…

private school in Findlay where she took ESL classes. She is a bilingual student and can fluently speak both English and Spanish. When asked what language is primarily spoken at home, she said it was mostly Spanish. Catherine has mastered the short vowel sounds. She has a habit of reading unknown words as words that she is familiar with, and that are visually similar to the unknown word. For example, in one of the AIMS Web passages, she read the word “boat” as “bottle”. Catherine is also very…

Considering that both American and Australian English are the same language, it might seem very strange how different the 2 dialects are. Both derive from British English, and are largely similar. Yet, there’s no denying that there are some very obvious differences. It can be said that the main reason is due to the fact that Australian English (as with other varieties, such as New Zealand English) have had less time to come into its own form as compared to America English. Hence, while…

There are four aspects. The first one is the unique dialect called “New York City English”. Some vowels of New York City English are different from General Americans. For example, the /ɔ/ vowel sound is tensed. Also, New Yorkers drop r sound after vowels. The reason is New York was under the British colony in the 1700s so they got the British pronunciation. In addition, New Yorkers pronounce vowels /ɔːr/ and /ɔər/ with a tongue movement upward. New York City English has unique words and slang.…
