LING 100 Tutorial Week 3 1 January 2024 LING 100 Phonetics The first 5 questions (1. Transcription, 2. IPA Symbols, 3. Sound Differences for Words, 4. Parameter differences Signs, 5. You own examples) are required to be completed and submitted online before Friday January 26 at 9am. There are some further exercises that you can try, but are NOT required. However, these questions give you a sense of what sorts of questions you could get on an exam or quiz. BUT you will not be asked to rely on your own pronunciation for any quiz or exam. Before you start the exercises, you should know that you will likely need to use: • eNunciate! sound charts: https://enunciate.arts.ubc.ca/linguistics/world-sounds/ to find and listen to speech sounds • IPA online keyboard: https://westonruter.github.io/ipa-chart/keyboard/ for transcriptions, as many IPA symbols are difficult to get on the keyboard Tutorial Exercises: Required Questions 1. Transcribe your name In the space below try to transcribe your name into the IPA symbols. You may not have all the symbols that you need to do so based on the English IPA, so you should go to the eNunciate! charts and listen to the different sounds on those to be able to transcribe your name. In tutorials, we will ask you go over your transcriptions with a partner and refine them. It is up to you if you would like to transcribe your first, middle (if you have one and would like to share it) and last name. You are only required to provide your first name. My name is: ______________________________________________________ NOTE: Get used to using and seeing brackets when you are transcribing. In exams, you will lose marks for not using brackets or using the incorrect brackets. At this point we only know that [ ] represents a phonetic transcription, but next week we will learn about other brackets to use. 2. Which one does not belong? Each of the following consists of members of a class of sounds that all share one or more common properties (meaning that they have the same parameter), plus one sound that is not a member of that class (meaning that it does not have that parameter). Identify the sound that does not belong to the class and name the descriptive parameter that defines the class of sounds. E.g. [o], [u], [i], [y] = [i] does not belong to the class of rounded vowels a. [p], [m], [θ], [b] =

LING 100 Tutorial Week 3 2 January 2024 b. [z], [v], [s], [ʒ], [g] = c. [æ] [u], [i], [e], [ɛ] = d. [ŋ], [g], [w], [t], [d] = e. [u], [æ], [i], [ɪ], [ʊ] = 3. How do these words differ? You are given pairs of words in a language that is not English. We provided the orthography (where appropriate), meaning, and IPA transcription. You will need to identify at least one difference between the words and describe the parameter(s) that those sounds differ by. We will stick to IPA symbols that you know from North American English for the actual answers. However, you may see some IPA symbols that you don’t know. For those IPA symbols we will give the description, but you don’t need to know them. e.g., French (Indo-European): boue [bu] “mud” vs coup [ku] “blow” difference: differs by the first consonant ([b] vs [k]) parameters: voicing ([b] is voiced, [k] is voiceless) place ([b] is bilabial, [k] is velar) i. Wolof (Niger-Congo) foyi [foji] “to go play” vs foye [foje] “to play with” difference(s): parameter(s)

SENĆOŦEN or Saanich (Salish): [ʔíʔt ̕ θ əŋ] “getting dressed” vs [héʔt ̕ θ əŋ] “breathing” Note: The [ ́ ] on [i] and [e] indicates a high tone (pitch difference) and [t ̕ θ ] represents a glottalized dental affricate. difference(s): parameter(s) iii. Khmer (Austroasiatic) បu iន [pen] “skillful” vs បu iង [pəŋ] “breechcloth” difference(s): parameter(s) 4. How do these signs differ? Each of the following pairs of signs differ by only one parameter . Decide which parameter the signs differ by and explain how you can see this. e.g., American Sign Language (French Sign Language) Parameters: handshape Difference: candy has an extended finger, apple had one finger bent, nerve had two fingers bent
