It makes Miss Burns smile. Her friends love the garden, too. 2 Miss Burns is up early today because it is her birthday! “It’s my seventy-third!” says Miss Burns. “Who will visit?” 3 Miss Burns checks her mail. There is nothing in her box. A blue bird chirps. Nothing else makes a peep. 4 Miss Burns picks an herb. It’s green and curly. She puts it in an urn. She feels a bit sad. 5 But then, lots of people came! “Happy birthday!” they yelled. “We did not forget you!” “You didn’t!” Miss Burns cried. “I’m so glad!” 6 Kitten and the Moon Kitten sees her first full moon. She thinks it is a bowl of milk! She chases the moon and jumps in a pond. Kitten’s fur is wet, and she is sad. She goes home and finds a real bowl of milk! Kitten drinks her milk and curls up. 7 The moon lights up the night sky. It is large and full. It shines on the land below. But it is further away than you might think. And it is NOT a bowl of milk!

I’m a smart kid. But I do NOT like the dark. I know it will never harm me. But I do NOT like the dark. 10 I try to sleep in the dark. Mom says that I should. But it’s so hard! I do NOT like the dark. Poor me! 11 When I lay my head down, I start to see shapes. I shout, “MOM!” Mom says that the dark can play tricks! 12 It’s just car lights shining on a scarf and a ball. Still, it’s hard to sleep. “I have a plan,” Mom tells me. 13 Mom got me a night-light. She’s so smart! Now I can sleep through the night! I am braver than ever before. 14 Ben Franklin When Ben was just a lad, he started making things. He was curious as well as smart. One day, he made a red kite. His friends had never seen such a thing! But Ben didn’t find it hard to dream up new things! 15 As Ben got older, he didn’t change. He made a new kind of stove. He made glasses that helped people see close up and far away.

So Mort’s pal Cory named him Mort the Short. 18 Mort isn’t good at running or other sports. But he tries hard. He runs until he is worn out. His mom yells, “Stop, Mort!” 19 At school, Mrs. Gore said, “We will have a Math Bee.” Mort’s heart soared. He knew that he would win. 20 Mort did his math from morning until night. He added up the numbers that his mom named. He got each sum right! 21 But Cory gave Mort a hard time. “You won’t win,” she said. “I’m better at math than you are.” 22 That made Mort study more than before! The Math Bee came. Cory did well, but Mort got the Grand Prize! The class roared. 23 The prize was a big, round pin. Cory said, “Now I’ll have to name you Mort the Math Whiz!” 24 Stormy Weather How can we tell that a storm is on the way? A gray sky can mean that a storm is coming. Soon we see lightning. The lightning is followed by thunder. That means it is time for us to go inside! 25 A snowstorm can form when it is cold. The wind may blow the snow into big piles.

The ants seemed the same, but the little brown ant was just a bit smaller than the rest. 28 When it gets cold in most places, ants gather food to be ready for the winter. So all the ants set out fast! The little brown ant was left alone. 29 “Wait for me,” she shouted. But no one heard a sound. When the little brown ant met up with the rest, they were already on their way back home. 30 The little brown ant frowned. “All the food is gone now. How will I eat?” The ant sat down to rest. She saw something on the ground. 31 The ant got closer. “Great!” she cried loudly. “It’s a big, beautiful hunk of sweet cake. How will I get it home from here? I am much too small.” 32 The ant asked the animals she met for help. Each one told her, “No. I will not help.” “Well,” pouted the ant, “then I’ll have to do it myself!” 33 Crouching down, she lifted the cake up onto her head. Step by step, the ant made it home! The cake would last all winter. The ant had never felt so proud. 34 Fall Is Here! Pinwheel He bumps the tree and makes it shake. Owl shouts at him to stop. Red, yellow, and brown leaves fall on the ground. He thinks he broke the tree! Pinwheel finds out that it is fall. 35 Squirrel He sees the leaves falling down. He also thinks the tree is broken.

  • Vowel Variation Between American English and British English

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 17, 2018 Accepted: November 13, 2018 Online Published: December 29, 2018 doi:10.5539/ijel.v9n1p350 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ijel.v9n1p350 Abstract The English Language, being an international language, is spoken all over the world with many variations. These variations occur primarily due to environmental, cultural and social differences. The main reasons for these variations are intermingling of different races and strata in a society. In this regard prominent differences can be observed at phonological levels. These phonological variations produce different kinds of English, like British and American English. In these two there are differences in intonation, stress pattern, and pronunciation. Although South-Eastern British R.P. is known as Standard English but one cannot deny the existence and value of American English. The study attempts to highlight the vowel variation between British English and American English at phonological level. Keywords: vowel, variations, American English, British English, phonological 1. Introduction Phonological variation results due to variations in dialects. A dialect is a system of speech sufficiently different from other dialects to be seen as different, yet sufficiently the same as other dialects to be seen as a similar.

Discuission 20 References 21 3 Abstract This study focuses on the changes Afrikaans has undergone since Dutch colonisers introduced Cape Dutch to the indigenous population. Afrikaans has been influenced through both internal and external language forces. The internal forces were driven by koineisation, while the external language forces are the results of language contact. The phonemic inventories of Afrikaans, Cape Dutch, Modern Standard Dutch, South African English, Xhosa and Zulu have been compared based on current and historical comparison studies. Internal language change has caused the voiced fricatives to fortify, while external forces have reintroduced voiced fricatives after fortition occurred. Xhosa and Zulu have influenced some vowels to become more nasalised, while internal forces have risen and centralised vowels and diphthongs. Contact with South African English has enriched the phonemic inventory with affricates.

  • Language Game Phoneme Groups
    Developmental Psychology Language Game - Groups Each group gets a set of 5 phonemes to use during the game. Photocopy this page once for each student in each group. Cut out the group lists and include them in the envelopes with the shapes. Groups work best with 2 to 5 students in each. Each phoneme is only in one groups list, and I attempted to make all 5 phonemes sound distinct. The first 6 groups are well balanced and the last 3 groups have less distinctive sounds.

  • Vowel Dispersion in English Diphthongs: Evidence from Adult Production
    Vowel Dispersion in English Diphthongs: Evidence from Adult Production Stacy Petersen Georgetown University 1 Introduction Although often omitted in work on vowel systems, acquisition, production and perception, diphthongs are major components of vowel inventories cross-linguistically. The decision to ignore or omit diphthongs is often due to their complex nature; a diphthong has the dual status of being a single segment while also being composed of two targets connected by a trajectory. This dual status can be problematic for unified phonological theories concerning vowels. In this paper, I address the problem of including diphthong vowels into a Dispersion Theory (Flemming 2004) framework. First, I review the main aspects of Dispersion Theory in Flemming (2004), which gives an analysis of vowel inventories using a perception-based account of contrast, but noticeably omits diphthongs, which–while different from monophthongs–are highly productive, contrastive members of vowel inventories. Next, in order to correctly represent and incorporate diphthongs, I discuss acoustic properties of diphthongs and their presence in vowel inventories cross-linguistically. Diphthongs are compared to the monophthong inventory using production data to assess their relative positions in the vowel space. The English vowel production data should reflect the language-specific constraint ranking of *EFFORT with the maximum contrast and minimum distance constraints as predicted in Flemming's theory. To derive diphthongs, Flemming (2004)’s constraints as well as additional constraints from Minkova & Stockwell (2003) are used to account for the distance between the two offset targets. An additional constraint is proposed to account for the strong preference in the English production data to centralize the onset targets.

When nasals /m/, /n/ and liquids /l/, /r/ take on vowel­like properties, they are said to become syllabic: e.g., /ļ/ and /ŗ/ (denoted by a small line diacritic underneath the grapheme). Note how token examples (teacher) /tičŗ/, (little) /lIt ļ/, (table) /tebļ/ (vision) /vIžņ/, despite their creating syllable structures [CVCC] ([CVCC] = consonant­vowel­ consonant­consonant), nonetheless generate a bisyllabic [CVCV] structure whereby we can ‘clap­out’ by hand two syllables—e.g., [ [/ ti /] [/ čŗ /] ] and 312 Chapter Thirteen [ [/ lI /] [/ tļ /] ], each showing a [CVCC v] with final consonant [C v] denoting a vocalic /ŗ/ and /ļ/ (respectively).

LTD. 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, E.C.4 NEW YORK, TORONTO CALCUTTA, BOMBAY AND MADRAS INTRODUCTION Tms little treatise is an expansion on more scientific lines of an article entitled " The Sounds of Afrikaans," which appeared in the Education Gazette of August, 1925. There is such a great need in our Training Institutions for a book of this nature that I cannot resist the temptation of placing before the public the data which I was able to collect from every corner of the Cape Province. Sooner or later Afrikaans Phonetics will have to be studied as a scientific subject by our student teachers, and I fondly hope that the results of my linguistic research here summarised will at least smooth the way for those who are interested in this important 5ubject. I have made free use of the following books: JONES: "The Pronunciation of English." RrPMAN: "The Sounds of English." No:EL ARMFIELD: "Phonetics." I am also indebted to my many teacher friends who supplied me with data, and encouraged me to carry on my research under many adverse circumstances.
