Vowels and Consonants
This popular and accessible introduction to phonetics has been fully updated for its third edition, and now includes an accompanying website with sound files, and expanded coverage of topics such as speech technology. Describes how languages use a variety of different sounds, many of them quite unlike any that occur in well-known languages Written by the late Peter Ladefoged, one of the world's leading phoneticians, with updates by renowned forensic linguist, Sandra Ferrari Disner Includes numerous revisions to the discussion of speech technology and additional updates throughout the book Explores the acoustic, articulatory, and perceptual components of speech, demonstrates speech synthesis, and explains how speech recognition systems work Supported by an accompanying website at www.vowelsandconsonants3e.com featuring additional data and recordings of the sounds of a wide variety of languages, to reinforce learning and bring the descriptions to life
Consonants, Grades 1 & 2
The sounds of consonants will stay neatly fixed in your children's minds after they read these short, funny stories in verse. The author is a teacher with over 25 years' experience in the primary classroom and in educational publishing. She presents rhymes to read aloud that reinforce correct pronunciation and improve recognition of the 21 consonants. For example, after children have sounded out the story and completed the exercises about Laura's eyelashes or Bob's bubble gum, they will readily remember the consonant sounds. Children can also make booklets to keep for review and practice. The author also provides lesson variations to make expanded use of the stories and exercises in Consonants. Book jacket.
Consonants and Vowels
The mysterious letter Y visits the Kingdom of Consonants to learn about this strange place. But, when Y escapes to the Land of Vowels with a royal prisoner, the consonant king declares war. Y must work with both consonants and vowels to bring peace between the two. Readers will learn common consonant sounds, various types of consonants, long and short vowels, and more! The Building Blocks of English series helps readers master the fundamentals of the English language--from individual letters to advanced reading and writing skills--through fun and engaging graphic storytelling. Play-along questions make readers part of the story, and "show what you know" tests reinforce what they've learned.
English Consonant Clusters
English Consonant Clusters focuses on the phonetic transcription, stress, and tone of English consonants and consonant clusters. The topics discussed include the phonetic alphabets; intrusive consonant; teaching consonants; study of textbook practice; pursuit of the phoneme; individual consonant studies; weak consonants; and English consonant clusters. In order to fully make use of this book, readers are expected to possess basic knowledge of one or two systems of phonetic transcription, phonemes of English, stress, tone, and other phonetic matters. This publication is intended for English teachers in order to gain knowledge of modern methods of teaching the language, but is also useful to students conducting research in linguistic studies.
Gods of the Word
In 1993, as part of a computer project I was working on, I found myself reading an English dictionary and dividing all the words into prefixes, suffixes and roots. I had read studies in linguists which suggested that the initial consonants of a word had a set of meanings, and the remaining rhyming part also had a set of meanings. One 'sense' of 'str-' is linearity: string, strip, stripe, street, etc. And one sense of '-ap' is flat: cap, flap, lap, map, etc. If you put them together, you get a flat line: 'strap'. The idea fascinated me, and since I was marking all these words anyway, I decided to keep an eye out for these classes which have similar meaning and pronunciation both. It turns out...

The Production of Consonant Clusters
The book analyzes the articulatory motivation of several adaptation processes (place assimilations, blending, coarticulation) involving consecutive consonants in heterosyllabic consonant sequences within the framework of the degree of articulatory constraint model of coarticulation. It also shows that the homorganic relationship between two heterosyllabic consonants contributes to the implementation of manner assimilations, while heterorganicity as well as sonorancy and voicing in the syllable-onset C2 are key factors in the weakening of the syllable-coda C1. Experimental and descriptive evidence is provided with production, phonological and sound change data from several languages, and more especifically with tongue-to-palate contact and lingual configuration data for Catalan consonant sequences. The book also reviews critically research on the c-center effect in tautosyllabic consonant sequences which has been carried out during the last thirty years.
Beginning Consonant Sounds
Excel English Early Skills: Beginning Consonant Sounds aims to teach children the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, which is an important first step in putting sounds together to form words. I n this book, your child will learn how to: identify the beg inning sounds of words see the relationship between letters and their sounds form the shapes of letters by tracing over them The activities in this book a divided into double pages. Ea ch double page allows your child to practise one particular skill many t imes so that the skill is reinforced. Your child will love the fun and i nteresting illustrations in this book.
