Different Between Vowel

DIFFERENT BETWEEN VOWEL,
CONSONANT, AND SEMI-VOWEL

In English phonetics, there are three main components: vowels, consonants and
semi-vowels. These three elements in English are always three different things.
Firstly, difference in meanings. The alphabets a, e, i, o, and u are called as vowels
in the English language. At times, the alphabet 'y' is also considered as a vowel.
Consonants are all the other alphabets of the English language, except the vowels.
According to the Australian phonetic sound, the semi-vowels are composed of the
four sounds w, j, v, and h. According to the American version, the semi-vowel has
only two vowels, w and j, and this is called two pure semi-vowels. Secondly,
difference in phonetics. Merriam-Webster defines a vowel as “a speech sound
made with your mouth open and your tongue in the middle of your mouth not
touching your teeth, lips, etc.”. Indeed, vowels are a speech sounds which made
with your mouth open and your tongue in the middle of your mouth not touching
your teeth, lips, etc. Vowels can stand alone to make speech sounds. Furthermore,
the vowel is emitted without abstraction to the airstream. In the other hand,
consonants are the speech sounds which made by either totally stopping the flow of
air exhaled out from the mouth, or by partially stopping it. Consonants are voiced
out completely in contrast to vowels, which are the speech sounds produced by the
free flow of air exhaled from the mouth. The consonant is emitted with abstraction
to completed or incompleted the airstream. Like vowels, semi-vowels are created
without the influence of abstraction to the airstream. This is one of the reasons that
make semi-vowels in English antonyms. Finally, difference in applicable rule. The
vowels can stand alone and must always come before the word 'an', instead of 'a',
'the', 'they', etc. Unlike vowels, consonants cannot stand alone and they have no
such rule. Unlike vowels, consonants cannot stand alone and they are not tagged
along with any rules of grammar. Like consonants, consonants cannot stand alone
to make speech sound.
WHAT HAPPENED OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE TABLETS AND
ITS IMPORTANT?
Orthography, a general term for “spelling” in any language, does not necessarily
represent the sounds of a language in a consistent way. we must devise a way for
the same sound to be spelled with the same letter every time, and for any letter to
stand for the same sound every time. And with our usual Roman script spelling, it
is impossible to have absolute similarity between letters and sounds. For example,
the letter "key", the character [e] is not pronounced as /e/ but as /i:/. Throughout
several centuries English scholars have advocated spelling reform. Nonetheless,
spelling reformers failed to change our spelling habits, and it took phoneticians to
invent an alphabet that absolutely guaranteed a one-sound-to-one-symbol
correspondence. In 1888 members of the International Phonetic Association
developed a phonetic alphabet to symbolize the sounds of all languages. The
inventors of this International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA, knew that a phonetic
alphabet should include just enough symbols to represent the fundamental sounds
of all languages.
The creation of the English phonetic alphabet is very important. Firstly, the
phonetic alphabet was created to establish words for each letter of the alphabet in
order to make oral communication easier when an audio transmission is not clear
or when the speaker and listener are not looking at each other. The original
rationale for a spelling alphabet was to make radio transmissions easier to
understand and to prevent letters that can sound similar from being mistaken for
each other. This specialized alphabet can also have unexpected benefits in a
homeschooling or other learning environment because of the new perspective
provided by the use of a spelling alphabet. Secondly, this specialized alphabet can
also provide unexpected benefits in a home or other learning environment because
new perspectives are provided by the use of the spelling alphabet. Especially for
second language learners of English, the alphabetical phonetic chart is very
important to them. When they know the sounds in English well, they will be able
to speak English fluently and hear and guess words from others.
THE ORGAN OF SPEECH AND
DESCRIPTION OF TO PRONOUNCE THE
LETTER “V”
The organs of speech are part in human body that can be used to produce
speech sounds. The parts of the sound organ are lungs, larynx, lips, pharynx, oral
cavity, teeth, tongue, uvula, glottis, alveolar ridge, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and
velum (soft palate). The function parts of human speech organs are:
The larynx is responsible for creating a voiced or a voiced sound. In order to
recognize those sounds, one must feel the vocal cords vibrations when making
sounds. The uvula in the pharynx is responsible for creating nasal or oral sounds.
Lips movements in order to make different sounds. Sounds can be formed by using
the teeth to shape the lips, in combination with the tongue, or to block air from
escaping the mouth. The tongue moves throughout the mouth and with many of
the other organs, as well as making shapes like the lips, in order to formulate
speech. The uvula is used to make guttural sounds. It helps to make nasal
consonants by stopping air from moving through the nose. The glottis is used in
controlling the vibration made by the vocal chords, in order to make different
sounds. The alveolar ridge helps us to make different sounds, the tongue touches
the ridges found on this organ. Hard palate, like the alveolar ridge, is the organ of
speech where the tongue touches and taps the palate when articulating speech. The
movable velum can retract and elevate in order to separate the mouth from the
nasal cavity, helping to make speech less nasally. When the tongue hits the velum,
it also makes a special sound called the velar consonant.
To make "V" sound, the bottom lip raises and touches the very bottom of the top
front teeth and it's actually the back side of the lip that’s making contact with the
teeth. Part of the mouth are drawn in. The soft palate is raised for this consonant
sound. The bottom lip simply raises to touch the top teeth. The tongue touches
lightly behind the bottom teeth. the lungs then deliver an airstream into the oral
cavity, which pushes the air outwards with the vibrating vocal cords creating a "V"
sound.
