2. Pronunciation American English is remarkable for certain phonetic peculiarities. These consist in the way some words are pronounced and in the intonation patterns. The system of phonemes in American English is the same as is British English, with the exception of the American [r]-sound which is more retroflexive than British, and labialized [ʍ] in such words as what, wheel, white, why, etc. Below are given some pronunciation peculiarities noticeable in General American (GA). Vowels 1. There is no strict division of vowels into short and long in GA. 2. Sound [r] is pronounced between a vowel and a consonant or between a vowel and a silence: burn [bə:rn ], car [ka:r]. 3. GA front vowels are somewhat different from RP. Vowels [i:], [ı] are distributed differently in GA and RP. In words like very, city GA has [i:] rather than [ı]. In word final position it is even often diphthongized. Vowel [e] is more open in GA. It also may be somewhat diphthongized before [p], [t], [k]: let [leət] 4. RP [a:] very often corresponds to GA [æ ]: dance [dæns], task [tæsk ]. Consonants 143 1. Intervocalic [t] as in pity is most normally voiced. The result is neutralization of the distribution between [t] and [d] in this position, i.e. latter, ladder. The original distinction is preserved through vowel length with the vowel before [t] being shorter. In words like little, twenty the sound [t] can even drop out. Thus words winter and winner , for example, sound identical in GA. 2. GA [r] is articulated differently compared to the RP one. It is articulated with the tip of the tongue curled back a bit further than in RP. 3. The sonorant [j] is usually weakened or omitted altogether in GA between a consonant and [u:] as in the words: Tuesday [tu:zdi], news [nu:z], suit [su:t], etc. 4. Many differences involve the pronunciation of individual words or groups of words. Here are some of these: RP GA Asia cordial education either leisure lever schedule shone tomato vase [„eı∫ə] [„kͻ:diəl] [„edju‟kei∫n] [„aiðə] [„leƷə] ['li:və] [„∫edju:l] [∫ɒn] [tə‟ma:təu] [va:z] [„eıƷə] [„kͻrjəl] [„edƷu‟kei∫n] [„i:ðə] [„li:Ʒə] [„levər] [„skedjəl] [∫oun] [tə‟meıtou] [veiz] жүктеу/скачать 1,38 Mb.
