    *** I'm sorry, I had a heavy cold whilst filming this video and sound rather nasal. I also pronounced the word 'onset' a bit funny at times - I clearly wasn't quite myself. Apologies! But the rest should all be accurate.
    ★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
    In this video we are going to learn about the three aspirated sounds in English: the unvoiced stops (also called plosives) /p/, /t/ and /k/. These three sounds are always aspirated when they are the only sound in the onset of a stressed syllable. I know, this sounds a bit complicated! But fear not, I will explain what it means in a simple way, showing you a range of examples to help you understand. I will also show you how to show aspiration in a phonemic transcription using IPA.

    Hello mam,
    my Enquiry is, when the phoneme
    /r/ or /l/ are seen after /p/, /t/, /k/ in any words does it aspirate? As instance
    [Problem, pray, play, place, cross, cream, try, tremble, tropical, clement, clear...etc]. I'm very much confused wether these are aspirated or not!

    Kindly guide me.

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před 2 lety

      Hello! Usually we use contracted forms when we speak because it allows us to speak faster and it sounds more natural.
      We use full forms when giving a formal speech, and also often in writing, esp. academic texts and formal texts. I would say in formal news the anchor would use full forms. When addressing your students, use contracted forms. I will post two videos on contracted forms in the coming weeks! 😊 I hope this helps!

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před rokem

      Hello! No, it's not because the 'p' in 'phone' forms a /f/ sound with 'ph' and /f/ is a simple fricative sound. I hope this helps! 😊
