International Phonetic Alphabet

taught in some schools (Summitt, 2012). The Cherokee writing system consists of a unique syllabary that was created by a Cherokee silversmith named Sequoyah. Cherokees are the only American Indians with their own writing system which is also the only alphabet in all of history that is the work of solely one man (Holmes, Smith 1977).

In a film, actors mimic phonological elements of their target character voices to create unique characteristics of certain speakers. In the movie ‘The Book Thief’ Emily Watson acted as Rosa Hubermann, a mother in a German family. Watson attempted to imitate a German accent by adopting into the native language, mimicking the phonological elements in German. People encounter difficulty when speaking their second language (L2) as both their first (L1) and second language may be phonologically distinct

Based on Lilly’s weaknesses I would focus on several skills for her to improve her literacy skills. The first strategy I would focus on Lilly would be with phonics, she struggles with her long vowels such as long a, long o, and long i. One way to expose Lilly to long vowels would be with the use of sight words containing the long vowels she struggles with. Exposing those words for Lilly to hear and visually see would be very beneficial for her because she would be able to see and hear the word at

the phonetic sounds of words created by symbols to create new words" ("The Birth"). This form of writing allowed almost anything to be written, but was very complex and needed many symbols. The phonetic alphabet was later created in order to shorten the number of symbols or letters and mainly derived from the Latin alphabet. "Overtime, the Greek alphabet gave rise to several other alphabets, including Latin, which spread across Europe, and Cyrillic, the precursor of the modern Russian alphabet" (Schumm)

Phonetics Language is the system of communication used by people worldwide. It’s a human faculty that distinguishes human beings from animals. English is considered a universal language that many countries use as a native language like Britain and Australia or as a second language like India. Wherever English is available, it offers a better communication between citizens of a country and travelers. Like all languages, English has variations in its pronunciation and accents. Sometimes misspelling

Resource File Item #_5__ Select four songs, finger plays, word games or poems that you can use to promote phonological awareness. Describe the strategies to promote phonological awareness among children whose home language is other than English. Phonological awareness involves the detection and manipulation of sounds at three levels of sound structure: (1) syllables, (2) onsets and rimes, and (3) phonemes. 1. Speak English, and speak it often, associate words with objects as often as possible

Student Scenario #1 Identify the student’s strength. Jenny is very good at whole word discrimination. She did not miss a single one and understood the sounds that the words made. She knew grip-grip was the same word and slip slit were not even though they were close in sound. Rhyming is also a strength for her. I think that rhyming is one of the easiest applications for children. I believe it is also the most fun for them. Syllable counting is also an easy concept for her; she didn’t miss a single

Phonetics VS. Phonology Phonetics and Phonology both are the study of sounds. However, there is a slight difference between them. Phonetics is the study of individual sounds within a language; it deals with the study of acoustic, auditory, and articulatory phonetics. Phonology is the study of how the sounds interact with each other once they combine to form a word, and how those words combine to form a sentence. Phonetics is a fundamental branch of linguistics; it is the study of the sound made by

of the Indo-European language family” (1), this results in numerous similarities between the languages; including the words: “export, partner, blue jeans, computer, teenager, and jet” (Garry and Rubino, 244). German and English also share the same alphabet however, the German language includes “the umlauted letters: ä, ö, ü, and the ß (scharfes S

Yuri Knorozov was born in 1922 in Kharkiv, Russia. Although Yuri’s parents were Russian intellectuals, he spent a majority of his younger life as a delinquent. Yuri has been described as “a difficult student” and was even on the boarder of being expelled from education for misbehavior when it suddenly became clear that his inquisitive temperament and extreme accuracy with attention to detail became outstandingly noticeable. In 1940, at the age of 17, Yuri left his home in Kharkiv for one in Moscow
