A contrast of the Arabic vs. American English consonant and vowel inventories. Abdullah Alshahrani Southern Illinois University-Carbondale Abdullah34f@gmail.com A contrast of the Arabic vs. American English consonant and vowel inventories. Introduction According to Hillenbrand (2003) and Thelwall and Sa’Adeddin (1999), both the American English and Arabic languages have diverse forms and dialects respectively. Thelwall and Sa’Adeddin (1999), highlight the two main spoken

has 26 Alphabets, whereas it has 44 sounds. English sounds are divided into consonant and vowel sounds. In consonant sounds there is some constriction of the airflows in the vocal tract, whereas with vowel sounds there is no constriction of airflow. Linguists describe consonant sounds using three criteria, which are voicing, place of articulation, and manner of articulation. First, there are two types of voicing for consonant sounds, they are either voiced (+V) or voiceless sounds (-V). voiced sounds

dreary picture, while the second adds an air of lightness. These vowel tones segue into a more caustic series of consonant combinations in the rest of the stanza. Tin flatware imitates the sound of the forks and spoons hitting the ‘plain creaking wood’. The repetition of ‘plain’ introduces a pattern of repetition that will appear throughout the poem. A relief from the biting consonant tones of the last two lines comes with an almost cooing first line of the second stanza.      The

To formulate the basis of the plot, but more directly create a poetic style, Chopin incorporates literary imagery such as repetition of vowel and consonant sounds, and direct comparisons. For example, such assonance is used when Richards and Josephine, family friend and Mrs. Mallard’s sister, were careful with their words or “veiled hints that revealed in half concealing” to break the heart-wrenching

strategies that we learned about this week in Chapter 7 of our textbook. The first strategy that I would employ would be “Letter Actions a consonant based strategy” (Vacca, et al., 2015, p. 191,192). This strategy would be great for my student if they are learning to read, but they were having difficulty with the words. In this strategy the sounds of the consonants are associated with action words. The textbook uses the example, “C-comb or S-sing” to describe action words that can be used (Vacca, et

Purpose: Preschoolers with verbalization sound disorders have clinically consequential impairments in the engenderment of sound production of the ambient language. Although many of these produced sound errors resolve after several years (with or sometimes without intervention), developmental appropriate speech sound production is not always achieved. Some sound errors may continue into adulthood. Concretely, (Preston, Hull, & Edwards, 2013) intended to determine if preschool verbalization error

A Sound Beginning A Sound Beginning is an assessment of phonological awareness at four different levels: Word Level, Syllable Level, Onset-Rime Level, and Phoneme Level. Phonological awareness is the manipulation of sounds in spoken language and is an important building block for reading. The assessment is administered orally that would include the student tapping, deleting, segmenting, and blending different sounds. Felipe’s score for each level is as follows: Word Level Tapping Words 2/5 Deleting

Most of English teachers tend to teach their non-native students grammar rules and vocabulary, get them to participate in communicative activities and become qualified in reading and listening. As a result, teaching pronunciation is not taken into account due to teachers’ assumption of having a lot to do rather than focusing on proper pronunciation. Apparently, they claim that students will acquire it throughout learning. Therefore, there is no need to allocate time for teaching pronunciation. Accordingly

Phonemic awareness is not phonics. Phonemic awareness is an understanding about spoken language. Children who are phonemically aware can tell the teacher that bat is the word the teacher is representing by saying the three separate sounds in the word. They can tell you all the sounds in the spoken word dog. They can tell you that, if you take the last sound off cart you would have car. Phonics on the other hand, is knowing the relation between specific, printed letters (including combinations of
